They straight up make fun of "generic Republican global warming denier" in that episode. Anyone who actually watched it thinking the point was "global warming is all a hoax" probably had already believed it.
You're severely underplaying how many people don't have strong political beliefs, especially growing up. To you jokes like that don't matter because you believe in something and believe it strongly. To people on the fence, what they see is their favorite TV show making fun of something they're on the fence about. This is especially true for young teens who are still adjusting their worldview.

And the 'generic Republican global warming denier' is a token effort to seem neutral. The entire episode was about Al Gore bein a lunatic pushing a crackpot theory. There's a reason they had to do a literal apology episode (years after the fact, and by far too late to undo the damage).
