Why Should Poltical Ideology Have Anything To Do With Global Warming?

"Democrats are much more likely than either Republicans or Independents to think it is very to extremely important for candidates in the upcoming elections to have a plan to deal with Global Warming - 63% of Democrats compared to only 27% of Republicans and 47% of Independents.

I mean do you think an economist just makes this stuff up for fun?
