I completely disagree. Most Tories I know (and there are a LOT, me included) hate Trump and support climate activists like Greta and are far from selfish.
Don't confuse a couple of people on this bizarre little forum with real life.
For me the correspondence is mainly between Trump supporters/the alt-right and climate change denial. And maybe I shouldn't have included 'Brexit supporters' in the mix as they are a diverse bunch, but the likes of Farage and his mates, for example, have a problem with Greta (see e.g. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/aug/17/greta-thunberg-brexit-cult
And I still don't get it. The vitriol directed at a teenager who is not unlike many idealistic teenagers (especially in relation to climate change) but who, unusually and impressively, has managed to attract a global audience, is frankly very very weird.
And for what's it's worth, I don't think her parents have ruined her life. She seems to have a spirit of her own, which I am guessing would be quite hard for any parent to suppress, even if they thought it was a good idea.
And nobody complains much about the ruined childhoods of child actors and the like, or, more to the point, the millions of children worldwide whose childhoods have been shafted by extreme poverty, and/or natural disasters, some of which caused by climate change.
Yep, she’s going to feel like Piers Morgan will feel once a vaccine is found and people stop dying. Piers will be absolutely gutted. I wonder who he will bully on TV then?
Once he runs out of ammo you right wing snowflakes will have to find something else to gripe about.
I don't know what the alt.right is. Can you clarify for my benefit? I suspect the answer to your supposition is firstly "anecdotal evidence" and secondly "non sequitur". The burden of proof is upon you to show that the link exists, not just assume the link is there.
You can check out what the alt-right is for yourself. It's a commonly used term and I'm sure there's more than one definition. Likewise, if you don't notice the correspondence then don't worry about it. The boffins in Sweden are going to research it far better than I can. I'll be interested to know what they find - I'm curious about it.

Fair comment. I don’t know that many Tories, but those I do mostly have similar beliefs to those on here. Don’t worry, I don’t tar them all with the same brush and appreciate that there must be some with a heart 😉

Well if you're a polluting multi national corporation or an a company like Exxon,you are going to be against climate change activism because it will affect your bottom line.Right wingers are generally more selfish and greedier* than people not of the right,their raison d'etre is to protect what they have and if that means a few more dolphins dying then so be it
*I did say generally,which means I don't mean all right wingers

The economics certainly explains why so many powerful interests deny climate change.
But why are all the idiot Trump supporters and the like so quick to believe. I can see that 'take back control' and 'make America great again' messages are going to appeal to some but what interest do those people have in thinking that all scientists are lying to them?

So now you're saying you trust the view of scientists but earlier you say the scientists who advise our government on Corona have got it wrong.

It's not the scientists that are lying, it's the scientists findings that have been spun to mean something different to what they originally stated.
Take the 97% 'consensus' for starters, the original report on this consensus was Cook et al in 2013 which using the abstracts found that 2/3 of the papers studied made no comment at all on global warming. The other third had 97% of the scientists stating that humans were 'contributing' to global warming.
Friedman in 2014 spun Cook's paper to say that 97% of all scientists said that humans were the 'primary' cause of global warming. This dishonest paper has been used by the most powerful people to drive the climate change emergency, and taxes and travel restrictions will be coming soon. The 12,000 scientists whose papers were used to propagate this agenda certainly didn't agree on their findings, proving as always that there is no consensus in science.

They're cap doffers, they think Trump is this wonderful businessman so the're en thrall to him,a bit like people in Britain who haven't got a pot to p**s in tug their forelocks towards the Conservative party, in their minds,they think they're on the winning side voting for these extremely wealthy people
The global temperature has changed naturally over the years. It has been clearly demonstrated that human activity has speeded up the current level of global warming. The lack of human activity due to the worldwide lockdown is having a beneficial effect on the environment. We cannot pretend that we do not have an effect on global temperatures.
How? Do you think the government have just made up the response to CV-19 or have they listened to scientists? You know, like the one who is regularly on the daily briefings. If you dont trust the scientific advise then how can you trust it when it's a subject you agree with?

My insurance company has, just this morning, refunded me £50 because I am hardly using my car.
I feel like the Greta of the forum and I've done my bit
