Look at it through their eyes. Screwing "those filthy hicks that hold us back" is a fringe benefit. They'd never admit it but they don't feel bad for making everyone else suffer, after all thats's what you get for voting for the "wrong" party.

Certainly there are some people that are quite out of touch, but I think their heart is mostly in the right place. In actual fact I've met many farmers, loggers, and even a friend in the petroleum industry that all take climate change very seriously. Once you move away from partisanship, I think you'll find there's a lot of support for this even in places you wouldn't expect it.
