Conservatives will look like buffoons with regards to the LGTB for sure but they will look even worse on the topic of climate change. Their position is similar to the people that denied smoking caused health issues and the consequences of inaction are pretty dire.
Let's imagine that scientists are right and climate change is a huge problem. Since they have been telling us that and the right refused to take action with the underlying issue of being backed by oil interests they will look like super villains. Imagine? Destroying the planet for political gain? Pretty evil shit.
Now, I tend to think most of them are not evil but really ignorant (or willfully ignorant). But history will look badly upon them. If the scientists are wrong we just look like goofballs with good intentions that were mislead.
