5) I recommend The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels by Alex Epstein. The book isn't exclusively about climate change, but a large portion of it is devoted to making the argument that even if fossil fuel usage does cause climate change, the benefits still outweigh the costs.
I would also recommend giving a listen to Patrick Moore (formerly of Greenpeace) on climate change. I don't know that he's written a book on the topic, but he has discussed it in interviews such as these two:

tomwoods.com/1386
You might find Bob Murphy's analysis of the economics of climate change policy interesting. He hasn't compiled his views into a single book, but this interview would be a good introduction to his work on the topic:

Caveat: none of these three guys would be considered conservatives (Epstein and Murphy are on the libertarian spectrum and I don't know how Moore would describe his political leanings), although their views on climate change are likely to find sympathy amongst most conservatives. So if your goal is specifically to understand mainstream conservative views on climate change, ignore my recommendations. But if you're interested in well-reasoned, well-documented counter arguments to climate change catastrophism, give these guys a read/listen.
