Why are most ""conservatives"" not environmentalists?
There is no more conservative doctrine that preserving the environment.

Because conservatives have been hijacked by neocons. Neocons just care about money and don't give a damn about anything worth conserving.
Conservatives have lower IQ's
his hair is the biggest threat to the planet.
They do, they just don't support taxes to stop people from buying things like the left wing in America.
I'm guessing you are mostly talking about America.
How about you put “environmentalists” in quotes? You won’t see many conservatives in “environmentalist” circles because cons tend to be conservationists instead of Marxist luddites. There’s a difference between liking solar power and wanting to protect the nature that Leftists cannot grasp. Even California has a branch of eco-modernists who’ve rejected the I-hate-every-instance-of-human-life green nihilism.
Then why are oil companies being subsidized with tax payer money?
It benefits the economy
No, the hair is one of this planet’s assets. Why do you think aliens come here?
How? Renewable energy creates a lot more jobs than the oil industry.
And why does it matter? I thought conservatives are against socialism (distribution of wealth by the state).
I don't support it but I'm just telling you why.
That's not why, though. As I said renewable energy is growing fast and provides a lot more jobs.
The only reason conservatives support oil is because they're bought and paid for in the form of campaign donations.
Are they real jobs or jobs that are funded by government grants. Ask yourself that.
I consider myself a conservationist rather than an environmentalist. Its important that we maintain national parks and forrests so that we can have wildlife and untouched wilderness for future generations to enjoy.
I dont however believe that carbon is a pollutant and is a big threat to the planet. All the trash and plastic we throw in the oceans? Im against that and would support government innitiatives to stop that stuff.
Sometimes I think global warming was just engineered to take the heat off of the actual pollutants like plastics and industrial waste. The oil companies know oil as a fuel will eventually be replaced anyway, so they keep you focused on the carbon dioxide in the air instead of the trash in the ocean.
The fact is the left has a monopoly on caring about the environment, at least in the eyes of the public.

Because of intersectionality. If you're an environmentalist you'll be in the same camp as some soy boy vegan cuck or a pansexual feminist puppykin.
That's not the reason tho nigger. The reason is that these oil firms paid off the neocon republican establishment. The same way """clean energy""" paid off the democrats
Because conservatives are just neoliberals but racist.
Well, to be honest, the oil companies pay a much higher percentage of what the get subsidized back in taxes, resulting in a net gain from the industry. Clean energy is just a money pit.
The absolute worst kind of 'conservative' I know are those that not only do not care for the environment, but that deliberately go out of their way to harm it just to spite people on the left that perhaps care too much and get too emotionally invested in it. The kind of untermensch that throws plastic trash out their car windows and select cars based on how much smog they can put out. Fuck Global Warming, living in exhaust pits gives you cancer and shit lungs.
MANY conservatives are in fact, conservationists who have a desire and vested interest in preserving the environment.
You just don't see them as such. Sports fisherman and hunters are big into range and wildlife management and the preservation of species.
Industrialists like jewish neocons don't care, but your average Republican DOES. The problem is that Democrats don't actually care, either. Carbon credits don't solve shit. They're a racket.
That's because your average environmentalist wants to revert society back to a pre industrial state. Anytime someone wants to install a clean energy facility they come out of the woodwork and do everything they can both legal and illegal to sabotage the efforts because it "disrupts the natural environment". Then they demand that we give up polluting fossil fuels with no feasable means of replacing it. They don't care about the consequences of those actions or the millions who would die if we did. They only care about some obscure variety of bird or worm that is only slightly different from all the others in the area.

OP is a faggot
Environmentalism is self-evidently necessary for the continued survival / prosperity of humanity, but what do I give a shit about that if our Kikepitalist government insists on committing ethnocide against my people? If the future is NiggerPlanet then let it burn for all I care
I never see liberals in the woods.
Because only NatSocs have the correct answer to the world's ecological problem: wiping out a huge portion of humanity. Sure it's not going to be nice, but it's the only no-bullshit method that can work. Solar and wind are fucking jokes and only for buying a ''feel good'', not for real results.
Normie conservatives don't care about the nature and left-liberals are too retarded to understand the difference between actually doing something VS. doing ''something'' to feel better about yourself. Radical problems require radical measures.
""conservatives"" are fags and so are you OP
A redpill on the changing demographics of the world right here.

Niger's population doubled over the course of 20 years, from 10 to 20 million. Compare that to our countries and imagine what kind of impact that is going to have on the surrounding ecosystem.
we are, it's an extension of paternalism
better yet, as authoritarian ideologues, we would actually have authentic potential to make the serious change required to preserve the earth
