What is the motivation for an average person to try to diprove global warming?

Question

Science itself isn't really divided on the issue of Global Warming.  The data in support of the human contribution to global warming is vast.  The motivation for Big Oil and right-wing radio shock-jocks to attack global warming is obvious ($$$).  

But what reason does the average unwashed person have to attack those seeking change in climate and energy policy?

Reducing emissions would reduce polution, reduce long-term energy costs, and increase economic prosperity across the entire Western World.

What motivation does the average right-wing person have to so visciously attack the policies of climate change?  Why isn't the connection between Big Oil profits and current policy as obvious to them as it is to any informed individual?

Given that there are no real downsides to adjusting energy policy to utilize better, more efficient fuels... why is the right-wing so focused on attacking science?
