The role of science is to discover new knowledge which provides the foundation for progress.  Without science there would be no civilization!

New knowledge sometimes conflicts with the "old knowledge" that it replaces and is sometimes rejected by the public, especially if it conflicts with religious dogma or has negative economic consequences.  If we don't want to believe something it's easy to conclude that it's not true! i.e. Galileo was almost burned at the stake for discovering that the Earth was not the center of the Universe and Darwin is vilified a century after his death!.

The basic science supporting climate change goes back to the late 1800's and I have a text book published in the early 70's that describes the process in detail.  With the proper equipment it can  be demonstrated in the laboratory by any competent high school physic or chemistry teacher.  Climate change is real even if you don't want to believe it!!!
