It's not about what's gonna happen next Thursday or next October... it's about what's going to happen 100 or even 1,000 years from now.
From that perspective, it's about raw science, not ulterior motives.
What people do with that information is their own choice.

I'm more worried about mega-tsunamis, asteroid impacts, nuclear annihilation and the next ice age than I am about global warming and its effect on my offspring to be perfectly honest.
I guess if people think they're the cause of global warming that it is empowering to think that the course can be changed. But it all reality there's no stopping real climate change - and real climate change in geological terms means ice ages, atmosphere's with no oxygen, mass extinctions of 99.99% of all living organisms on the planet, etc.. and there ain't shit that anyone can do about that stuff.
Ok, now everyone go buy a Prius.
