A sizable portion of the population would convince themselves that the sky is green, if that was their party's official position.

And a sizable portion of politicians, of a certain moral character, would take the official position that the sky is green if someone paid them enough.

On an unrelated note, I wonder which party is heavily sponsored by the oil and gas industry?

The answer, like in most countries, is both of the largest parties.

Can't have the other party get in and get rid of your subsidies, bad for business, ya know?

Unfortunately both.

Not that the GOP's positions on climate change aren't far more deranged, of course, just noting that the Dems are also heavily influenced by lobbying.
