I'm commenting on what their current party line is now, not that it wont change as I predict. The simple fact is the GOP has run amok with the loonies and it's getting so bad they are becoming a joke. While big oil is a major political donor, they aren't all of the GOP's money.. This other money will not want to continue to be seen as supporting crazy lunatics. Specially when the GOP can't even seem to get their loonies to all work together.
Not to mention it's not just pressure here in the US but it's coming from the rest of the world as well. Green energy/less pollution is the future and the US is falling behind mostly due to the right wing trying to keep us on dirty coal and oil.
It's just like immigration.. Remember that wall they bitched and moaned about non stop? Republicans now have the house & the senate where is their wall? Oh opps they forgot about it right? Why because it was just something to get their base all pissed off about. Just like being anti Global warming. They can point to Al Gore as a tree huger make fun and by being anti that it gets their base supporting them. They will just replace global warming with some new "niche" which they can get their base all pissed off about to show up at the polls..
Just like they seem to have forgotten about repelling Obama care since they took office.. Global warming denial will be downplayed and they will "forget" about it in the coming years, My bet will be starting this next election cycle.
The fact is angry conservatives vote more than happy liberals, hence the reason the GOP always has to have something to be outraged about to rile up their masses. Global Warming denial has run it's course and it's becoming too hard to deny, so they will stop talking about it and move on to the next thing, just like they forgot about their wall and obamacare..
