And like Jeremy says...

If you notice, your source is an editorial piece. That means it's someone's opinion, and the opinion of a person with a political ax to grind and who makes his living painting liberals and progressives as hypocrites. While some of what he says is true, there is more to the story than he wants you to believe. Snopes has this article:

Contrary to what Jeremy thinks I am conveying - I do not believe that there are only two extremes in the climate change debate. It is wise to be skeptical of everyone's motives on both sides of the argument - but not likely the scientists themselves. They do what they do and they keep doing it and arguing theories and proving hypotheses and being skeptical of all things - that's what they do. What has muddied the issue is the presence of political factions who may or may not be backed by large corporations who have a vested interest in NOT having limits on what they can do to the environment and in NOT having to pay for the damage they are doing. Corporations are gaming the politicians and the politicians are playing the people to give the corporations what they want.
All people should be skeptics in that it is how you find out the truth behind what people are telling you. There is such a thing as facts. Whereas people may try to argue that the truth is relative, facts are not.
