If that were true, then the issue of money should not be so involved.
And yet, that is the main driver of any policy being suggested. The bogeyman called climate change is akin to terrorism; it is an amorphous "enemy" which is used as an excuse for moving resources to places which would otherwise be deemed too inefficient for practical energy** budgets. And the masses--for the most part--are a sounding board for the purposes of propagating the message at such an amplitude as to drown out intelligent critique.
For example, when was the last time you tried to falsify a hypothesis? What sort of questions did you ask which led you to a contrary result, and what was the feedback from your "intelligent" peers/colleagues? Did you receive thoughtful questions meant to advance your work on a path to more robust error analysis, or was the bleating of "SCIENCE!!!11@!1" the best response offered? If one answers in the affirmative for the latter, I'd question the ulterior motives and rational depth of said colleagues. Emotional arguments in Science lead to bias, just like Politics, just like Religion.
I will concede it is admittedly difficult to always be rationally cold, but it is necessary if truth is the goal.
