It should be noted that some conservatives believe in man made climate change. (although they may differ on an appropriate response).

And presumably (although I've never seen it) there is at least one liberal who doesn't.

Why should there be liberals who do not believe in global warming?

No, that's not true. One's beliefs about climate change are not their politics; they just tend to correlate highly with politics.

I meant more like "He must be a conservative!" kind of explanation (and therefore he should be ignored??).
