Human caused climate change is a risk and one that is of such significance and potential impact that anyone who rejects it does not deserve to be taken seriously.
How to respond to it is debatable but denying its reality is not credible.
It is a challenging topic for Libertarians who deny the importance of the state and its role in the economy- believing that instead 'the market' will deal better with all challenges we face.
The fact that human caused climate change mostly originates from activities where the user of resources does not receive any market signal about the external costs imposed by their use of the energy/resource seem to be beyond the capacity of Libertarians to comprehend.

You try to shoot (and silence) the messenger because you cannot credibly or convincingly refute the message.
If you were confident of your assertions and they were based on credible reasoned arguments you could easily refute my response.
But you have not, and I suspect, cannot, and that renders you conceding defeat, by default, in this contest of ideas.
