Because non-scientists are just as much a part of the doomsayers group as the non-doomsayers group and a hell of a lot more hypocritical about it. Because the scientific evidence has been shown to be flawed, misinterpreted, wrong, and in many cases down right manufactured. Because the Consensus isnt. Because we were lied to about too much already for us to believe the This Time it's really true, the Wolf really is eating the Sheep! Because the core of the Green Movement is made up of Anti-Capitalists who desire an end to our way of life and are using this charade to gain the power to do so. But other than that let's destroy the wealthiest society ever created, that has lifted more people out of poverty than any other, while totalitarian societies that do more damage to the environment are given a pass to do whatever they want, while America is at the same time making more progress on these initiatives than anyone else but that just isnt good enough, because it never ever is while there's a Crusade to fight and money to be made for those that promote it. Nah, take that [BLEEP] and go bug China and India, America needs to quit being the world's patsies.

There are socialists and anarchists who want to destroy our way of life and destroy the wealthiest society ever created.
Some of them are using climate change to push their agenda.
Just like they use homeless people to push their agenda.
Just like they use dilapidated towns with closed down factories and Superfund sites to push their agenda.
But none of these things stop being factual just because bad people want to discuss them.  
There are dilapidated ghettoes.  There are homeless people.  And there is climate change.

Our society will still work fundamentally the same way if we reduce income and payroll taxes and replace them with a carbon tax.  Note that the true socialists out there are more likely to advocate for state takeover of energy companies as their solution.
