Persuading Conservatives To Join (our new religion)

LET'S FACE IT; its crazy to deny global warming. Ask any high school chemistry or biology teacher. Hell, ask anybody! Conservatives deny global warming because to accept it would disprove their beliefs. Global warming, man made climate change, is a conservative problem, having arisen out of mainstream, traditional, conservative, capitalistic society. The solution to global warming is change, a lot of change, fundamental change, particularly change to prevailing, traditional economic, social, and political systems and institutions, which means..liberalism. Conservatism embraces tradition, liberalism embraces change. Changing to green, sustainable energy sources, changing the way we live, is the only way to avoid further climate change, before its too late. Conservatives do not like change, or anything which appears to cause or encourage it, such as climate change, which, for the benefit of conservatives, we here stipulate is the same thing as global warming. You can see it now, the following scenario: Enough of the world accepts the reality of global warming that a trillion new trees are planted, solar energy sweeps the world and saves the planet, and American conservatives say: "see, we told you there was never any problem in the first place!" Either that, or they will claim that they never doubted global warming in the first place.. Or maybe this: global warming, man made climate change, gets worse and worse over the next few years, say, because we don't do anything to fix it, as humanity is locked in an endless cycle of doubt and denial. The weather gets so crazy that it becomes impossible to continue denying that the climate has changed. One can just imagine our beloved American conservatives then proclaiming: "yes, its real, but its all natural, and we had nothing to do with it!" So long as there are those who are not on board with our new man made climate change religion, which is different from all preceding religions in that our new one is based on provable fact, we just can't win for losing in the great battle to persuade American conservatives to join our new church.
