Besides, most of the GOP (aside from the loons) accept that Global Warming is a fact. Thermometers are rather bad liars. They dispute the anthropomorphic-centered thinking they hear referenced as THE source of this climate change. And it is hard to get at. You cannot type in a search for climate change without a bajillion political hits but few good research pieces that are accessible in full (and just hearing their conclusions is not enough to judge research quality of course).
You're right about the one strom thing, but the anthropomorphic denial is just crazy, and of course it comes from the side that constantly talks about "personal responsibility" and "being the master of your destiny" etc. as long as it doesn't come to changing its pet habits or hurting the income of its pet billionaires...

Pure coincidence that the burning of every fossil fuel we can find happened just when the curve went crazy I guess.

It's just when you deny half the science that you can deny human impact. At some point of course, human impact becomes meaningless and the planet heats up further and further regardless of what we do. Maybe the plan is to deny our impact until it actually does become meaningless? Also funny that the same people tend to dislike refugees, wait until all the equatorial areas become uninhabitable...
