This conservative recognizes that man can have some effect. We need to do a better job of conserving resources. I am concerned about the future potential of damage to the ocean that will threaten the food supply. All that having been said, there is a balance between taking care of this planet and killing business, which will ultimately destroy everything.

We can always do better, but the green movement thinks we need a big government regulation to force that on us, meaning a socialist type dictatorship that forces us to go back to the middle ages. They are nothing but Luddites reborn in the guise of environmentalists.

I think the more conservative approach appreciates our freedom to do better, our freedom to innovate, our freedom to enjoy the bounty the earth provides us and make our lives better. You can support a clean environment without being crazy as the warmist alarmists are, and you can be for conservation without hampering the genius of the free market and human ingenuity.
