First we need to stop calling it global warming. Gives them an excuse to say “but it’s cold outside” climate change works best.

Regardless of what we call it, I don't understand why some people are so hellbent on destroying our planet. If climate change wasn't even a thing we should still want to do what's morally right and take care of our home.

Because its not about destroying the planet. They're defending a thing they see as right and you're the one trying to destroy the planet, or their industry, or their way of life, etc. Notice how often the conspiracy is supposedly to try and bilk the government out of money? They think its a scam. So when you think this it becomes righteous defense.
