Is there political motivation for Republicans to deny climate change?

Is it really as simple as giving them another excuse to say, "Haha, Dems! You're moronic alarmists, and we're not! We're RIGHT!" Or does it run deeper than that (to multi-billion-dollar fossil fuel companies, etc.)?

I ask because some things I've read lately make it out as though Dems = Yes, Reps = No when it comes to answering "Is anthropogenic climate change taking place?" And I'm interested in why there could be such a partisan divide on a question of (presumably objective) science.
