    I think the conservatives don’t disagree that climate change is real, they disagree that humans are responsible. To them it’s things like El Niño or solar activity.

      It’s actually a spectrum of disavowal of responsibility:

      • It’s not happening.
      • Even if it is happening, it’s not our fault.
      • Even if it is our fault, there is nothing we can do.
      • Even if there is something we can do, it’s too late to do anything.

      It’s just that the first stage (denialism) is starting to become untenable.

        • Even if it isn’t too late to do something it’s the others that should do it
        • Even if we are the ones that should do something, it’s down to everyone individually so no job for the politicians
        • Even if it is down to the state, sorry it’s too expensive.
