I find myself struggling with the conservative parties environmental polices the most. I think their overall disregard for the environment is what keeps me from aligning further with the right.

>In 2019 Trump replaced the Clean Power Plan with the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule which significantly weakened emission reduction efforts (though he did turn a lot of that control over to the states, so do with that as you will).

>2017-2020 EPA budget cuts, followed by the appointment of Scott Pruitt who openly opposes harsh environmental regulations. We then saw the repeal of Waters of the United States (WOTUS) which expanded the Clean Water Act to protect smaller wetlands and streams.

>The withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement during both Trump admin terms. This is largely up for debate, so set aside how much money this agreement cost the US and consider that the US holds significant influence over the rest of the world - pulling away from the Paris Climate Agreement signals a shift away from international commitments to renewable energy and emissions reductions.

honorable mention: after we withdrew in 2017, the administration also repealed the Clean Energy Incentive Program, which encouraged investment in renewable energy and energy efficiency, particularly in low-income communities.

>The Trump administration implemented new rules in 2019 that made it easier to remove species from the Endangered Species Act (ESA) list and harder to consider climate change as a factor when evaluating threats to wildlife. This was seen as a victory for industries like oil drilling, mining, and logging, as it made it easier to exploit lands that were previously restricted due to the presence of endangered species.

>The overall opposition to the idea that global warming exists in any form.

I could understand denying that cow farts are causing global warming, but I find very rarely that conservatives are able to look past the cow farts.

Climate Change is a hoax created to shift manufacturing from the west to the East. Obama is a CCP plant.

Consevatives usually are for less government oversites and a profit driven economy. This is usually anti environment unless your economy is largley based on eco tourism and even then tons of people visiting an area tend to shit up even if they are "enjoying it."

As someone into hunting its a shit position because liberals are faggots and think everyone should eat lab slop and enjoying nature to them means hiking the same trail as 100s of poos and chinks.

And conservatives just want to sell any natural land for development because anyone whos rich and in to hunting can just access private land.

Because they're fucking retarded.
American liberals and conservatives are equally retarded. It's a waste of time talking about either of them.

conservatives care deeply about the environment, just not in terms of global warming bullshit.
hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation are deeply rooted in conservative culture, we appreciate nature.
private land stewardship, where individuals and communities care for the land is far more effective than federal agencies.

Because environmentalism became a mystic belief without any rational or empirical backing. Anyone who limits their free and/or corporate market, and its operations, majorly for the sake of environment is funkt in the modern era.

the right is just the end product of all the money the coproations pour trillions into for policital favortism. There's a reason so many companies donated to trump inauguration (something that used to be illegal until Trump decided to allow more money in politics)

Yes but there are other ways to protect the environment than subscribing to the cult of climate change. We could stop harmful dumping or harvesting or even destroy all of china and india.

Being a conservationist is literally the most conservative idealogy. Stop all progress.

until you realize they only care til money drops in.
see desert US states selling off aquifier and water rights to arab princes running super water extensive crops or luxury activities or bringing back the water to their own regions at the expense of our own.
so they don’t actually care.
because the ones who’ll do the most harm are the very ones they never stop.
the average joe is never going to reach the same level of environmental impact as some conglomerate or business.
if an oil spill occurs or deregulation means some toxic forever chemicals destroys a local ecosystem and citizens health no one ends up ever being held accountable with the current american conservative right.
this is why there are people who stay leftist because they know they can’t trust american conservatives to actually conserve anything.
what is funny enough is american conservatives have no principles they’re against gay marriage and trannies UNTIL its their own kind then they’re fully for it.
but this is more of an issue of american politicians as whole these days lacking any true values which means effectively both parties are uniparty.

here's a good example
>hellbender salamanders exist
>in 2024 hurricane helene damages south carolina, one of the 14 states that hellbenders live in
>a town in south carolina attempts to have their local populations of hellbender salamanders declared a unique species localized entirely to their local waterways, and also declared as an endangered species due to habitat loss caused by hurricane helene
>after this succeeds and they receive tons of extra government funding to protect the waterways that contain an endangered species
>a second town in south carolina attempts to do the exact same thing, it also works

both of these populations, which 18 months ago were entirely identical to every other hellbender salamander in america, will now need to be protected species for the rest of eternity because of their extremely limited habitat ranges of [a single lake and river near one town in south carolina]. Generations from now scientists will be checking action plans that future city councils are required to make in order to make sure that these habitats are maintained.
Because two town councils heard the government was gibbing gibsmedats and they wanted an extra share of the gibs.

Because they are bought off by corporations that don’t want any regulation hurting their profits. Conservatives are also evil and they don’t care about our air trees water and animals
