I think the problem or part of, is how we are seduced into believing that we can only ever be in two camps. Climate change activists or climate change deniers. This is bogus.

Linguistic fallacies are precursors to binary thinking, false dichotomies and ultimately political and social manipulation. Pushing trigger buttons to divide and conquer through a controlled fabricated narrative, and outlawing of real debate.

Currently it is a specious debate. That is, apparent, seldom based on observation.

What grabs me specifically (in addition to all the anecdotal evidence) is that people's opinions are largely formed by media bias and the fact that their paycheck depends on them espousing the same data points. Data points which a re largely contestable and frequently are contested by looking a t wider data sets.

It's akin to trying to measure the circumfrence of the earth with a 15mm ruler and then doing the same thing every year to try to work out if it has changed.
