And honestly, the religious part might be more the problem than simple conservatism. Many of the arguments I hear are things such as: "humans can't effect the planet, only God can", or "even if global warming is real, its just part of Gods plan", or "the rapture is going to happen before it becomes and issue, so why care".

Yep: http://time.com/4800000/tim-walberg-god-climate-change/

Michigan Rep. Tim Walberg said during a town hall in Coldwater, Mich., on Friday that while he believes climate change is real, it is not something for humans to solve.
"I believe there's climate change. I believe there's been climate change since the beginning of time," Walberg said. "Do I think man has some impact? Yeah, of course. Can man change the entire universe? No."
He continued: "Why do I believe that? Well, as a Christian, I believe that there is a creator in God who is much bigger than us. And I'm confident that, if there's a real problem, he can take care of it."

Which based on passages in the Bible about humanity being charged with being stewards of the Earth, and others saying not to test or temp God, would probably be the equivalent of taking a dump all over the floor, then calling your landlord at midnight to demand he come over and clean it up.
