Yeah, this appears to be entirely a product of the masaive spending on pro-fossil fuel propaganda seeping through Republican media channels.
Shifting? Haven’t they always been the Gas & Oil Party? When were they not? I’ve alway seen them as the Gas the Globe Party.
The Republican party was, but the voters weren’t on board with it. That has changed.

Do you think it has something to do with high gas prices making Americans driving around big SUVs I think “drill baby drill”
Oh please, give us credible sources, not oil-based ones.

Conservatives love money though, it speaks to them louder than anything else. The economics of THIS is coming for them whether they like it or not https://hardware.slashdot.org/story/26/04/02/2323220/renewables-reached-nearly-50-of-global-electricity-capacity-last-year
I’ve noticed in Australia that when we have a conservative climate denying government people’s opinions shift in that direction. When we have a more balanced government the opinion shifts to being active on climate issues. Media has a lot to do with it however, leadership seems to be a big factor. It’s obvious that the government’s messaging is important. Trump’s relentless banging on about climate hoax etc will sway people who are not well grounded in the issues.
Also, he’s getting allies to fire journalists who cover climate.
Bullshit.
Bots dupe another one.
Alternatively people who don’t support oil and stop being Republicans
