Throughout human history, major scientific advancements have always been embraced by mankind regardless of political affiliation. For example, when the light bulb replaced candles, there wasn't one political party screaming that we had to stay with candles or all mankind would perish. Same with the car replacing the horse and cell phones replacing landlines more recently. Due to the innovation, EVERYBODY ran toward the light to enjoy the advance in technology.
On global warming, there is no innovation. The political left theorizes that carbon dioxide is the control knob of the planet's atmospheric temperature and their solution is to essentially tax air - carbon use to be more specific, and force us back into inefficient energy sources - wind and solar and away from fossil fuels.
The political right says there is no problem, the environment is no different than it has been for man's 100+ years of new age productivity (against 4.5 billion years of earth's age - the arrogance!) and any efforts to hold man's innovation and progress back is wasted effort in improving our lives in meaningful ways during our short time we all spend on this orb.
Seems pretty simple what's going on when you think about it.
