  I believe that's a recent movement of the goal posts; it's still quite common among conservatives to believe that climate change is a hoax.

    Perhaps. Climate change has been scientific since what, the 70s or 80s? Only recently have we seen repeated significant increases in the global mean temperature. This means early skeptics now are forced to choose reality vs. being a conspiracy theorist. Politicians try to appeal to their base but both sides know climate change is 1) too far into the future to matter and 2) not much impact even in the far future.

      No, "both sides" absolutely don't know this. In fact - climate scientists are talking about changes that need to be made in the next decade if we want to put off major ecological collapse.
