Can you name someone who leans right politically getting hysterical about climate change and telling us the world is going to end in a decade? There are plenty of people leaning right politically (Roger Scruton for example) who care about the environment, but they are not going full-retard. In fact, the discussion regarding care for the environment is far more sophisticated and mature on the Right (with exception of course) than the mindless and distracting hysteria, outrage and virtue-signalling coming from the Left. It seems like the Left just wants to scream for more government intervention instead of living responsibly and making the sacrifices necessary to truly care for the planet.
Here is conservative Roger Scruton thoughts on the environment. There are many people on the Right who think similarly to him (I recommend reading the entire thing):
Conservatism and the Environment
...
by concentrating on climate change the activists have managed to distract attention from the many other environmental problems that could be, and often have been, solved by people acting in the conservative spirit. Environmental problems arise when homeostatic systems break down – in other words, when the feedback loop that establishes equilibrium is, for whatever reason, destroyed. The homeostatic system that has been most studied is the free market, which returns to equilibrium in changing conditions, provided the participants bear the costs of their actions. Left-wing thinkers refuse to accept this, and
constantly invent bogeymen – 'neo-liberalism', 'corporate greed', 'market failure' – in order to justify the intervention of the state, and therefore control by socialists. But intervention by the state is the major cause of disequilibrium, and the environmental consequences can be seen all across the former communist world – in the Soviet case in the form of total devastation. The market ceases to deliver solutions to environmental problems when participants can externalise their costs – in other words, when they can escape the internal rules of the system. It is this that gives rise to 'the tragedy of the commons'.
The solution is not automatically to call on the state to intervene but first to look for the social mechanisms that cause people to bear the costs of what they do...If we look at the history of the environmental movement in Britain we see those conservative principles working successfully, not through the state, but through the civil initiatives that challenge the state...
