Science could be correct on anthropogenic climate change and "global warming as an existential threat" could still be propaganda.
Much power, wealth and control that comes with "saving the planet". Too much.

Scientific consensus is correct, until you bring tons of proofs that could reverse it (which didn’t happen in the last hundreds years). About what you said, we could say exactly the opposite: industries (big polluters, which include politicians) have already to much power, wealth and etc. and want to protect it. I remember to You that we are already following the big polluters agenda, since the start of Industrial Revolution! We are the consequence of past acts : polluting without limits, global ppm rising and 6 earth limits already reached. (Just look at the place where you live, how much waste there is, how much CO2 we produce, etc.etc.). Our world is insane for the good and for the bad. Let’s focus on what we can change! Let’s be pragmatic. Global warming could be used by some politicians to impose their ideas? Yes, it probably will and already is for past events. But for me, the most important is not to cry about what they want to do. My main focus is to listen to science which means to reduce our CO2/methane production. It means for example to be able to produce our own free electricity (solar panels, like my grandpa did 30 years ago). Economically and ecologically good (even if Oil lobbyist say the opposite). And then the next focus would be to work with every level of our societies to reach the net-zero emissions goal. 👀✅ I see it as a way to be independent, self-sovereign in many aspects and earth-friendly in many others.

So if politicians were pro carbon caps on households and a social credit score relating to carbon emissions you wouldn’t care?
I am much more concerned about politicians and other elites using “climate change” as a vector of power for themselves and an excuse to impair individual liberty.
