ELI5:Why is climate change a political issue, even though it is more suited to climatology?

I always here about how mostly republican members of the house are in denial of climate change, while the left seems to beleive it. That is what I am confused on.

Because the implications of accepting climate change means more government regulation of the oil industry and other polluters. Being forced to pay for pollution means less profit for business. Republicans don't like government regulations (unless the regulations are about sex, drugs or other private stuff, but that's for a different eli5) and they like big business.
