Rising Hegemon
When does the transition for conservatives come from denying global warming to saying regulation isn't needed because it will impede the free market's opportunities to maximize profit from mass starvation?
Just want to know, because we won't see them held accountable for being wrong.

The Soylent Green lobby, the NRA and climate deniers: a powerful synergy.
Too complicated--more likely they'll just say regulation causes warming. And somebody comes up with chart saying how lowering taxes lowers temperatures.
Admit they were wrong? At their moment of victory...?
Never gonna hap.
Hire up some tobacco lawyers, and get to work on setting up the giant class-action lawsuit against the primary funders and enablers of climate denialism. The exact same logic for the tobacco settlement applies here....it's just the stakes are a hell of a lot larger. Of course, the foreigns flooded out of their houses aren't worth a crap to our legal system, but if you get a few American farmers suing over crop failures, it bet there's gonna be some traction.
I still think the final right-wing viewpoint is going to end up being:
"Of course global warming is real! And it's all the fault of liberals! We tried to stop it but they didn't let us!"
piffle, profit ALWAYS is paramount.
Conservative: someone who doesn't give a shit about global warming, poverty, gun violence, racism or homophobia... but feels deep compassion for embryos and overtaxed millionaires.
