Fear of Ebola, but not climate change?

Can someone 'splain to me how "one political party" can be SO TERRIFIED of Ebola, but not at all concerned about climate change?

Does this make sense? Has anyone asked Republican leaders this directly?

Ebola has about a 20% chance (and dropping) of killing you. Climate change has a 100% chance of killing you. Therefore logic dictates that ebola is scarier.
