This isn't a knock on all right-wingers, but it does encompass a lot of them. They do as they're told. Of course the reason they fight talk about global warming is because the party gets a lot of money from big oil. The party tells their followers that it's fake, and they say "yes sir". Like the saying "democrats fall in love, republicans fall in line".
I still think it's ridiculous that we are turning science into a political issue. Regardless of whether you believe that carbon emissions is causing the warming, being "green" isn't a bad thing. Finding alternative fuels is great for the country and allows us not to have to rely on the Middle East. Less waste is great for our planet and helps the ecosystem stay alive. Heck, most of the green stuff that is available actually saves people money (light bulbs more efficient, etc).
Turning "being green" into some horrible thing is arguably one of the most retarded things I've ever seen. But there are sheep who do as they are told and will continue to do so.
