One of the things that sucks about the battle against global warming is that it is the world's largest collective action problem. In order to realistically stop it we have to cooperate on a massive scale. And there is a massive amount of evidence that we are not going to cooperate effectively on this. So anyone past a certain point on the individualist/collectivist spectrum might see their non-cooperation toward global warming as pure virtue signalling, without any realistic chance of their individual action having a measurable effect on the world. Individualism is a conservative/masculine virtue to a greater degree than collectivism. So it is easy to see why someone may prefer to choose a non-cooperative stance on global warming as a pure virtue signalling move.
