You do know Koch Brothers believe none of the nonsense they sell to average lower educated US citizens. If I am wrong, globe will warm slower and a cleaner world economy will occur. If you are wrong, we will choke to death due to lack of oxygen. Roughly 250 million years ago, earth's atmosphere was (30 to 35) oxygen. Now, earth's atmosphere is (20 to 21)% oxygen. Healthy humans need atmosphere to be at least 19.5% oxygen. Obese and elderly cannot breath now at current oxygen level without an oxygen tank. Ask your personal medical doctor the amount of oxygen needed in earth's atmosphere. Do you want to walk around carry an oxygen tank?
There are so many falsehoods in this that I don't even know where to start.
For one thing, the "global warming skepticism is directed to and is more common among the less educated" claim needs to die. College educated Republicans are more likely than non-college educated Republicans to believe in global warming because they are taught to see through all that BS. The same is true for Independents even though the difference is not that dramatic:

I've spent several hours in a 16-17% oxygen environment on multiple occasions, and I'm perfectly fine. That environment is called an "altitude tent".
And besides, oxygen levels will never get anywhere near that low even if we burn all of the fossil fuels:
