That's a really stupid reason why be skeptical. First of all, these people are mostly the governing elites, not scientists (actually all of them, I don't think there is a climate scientist with a private jet). If anything, the fact they are discussing it means it exists!
But OK, maybe you believe there is a conspiracy of those 1000 private planes owners going on, whatever that is. This is still not a reason to distrust scientists, just like existence of huge profits of pharmaceutical companies is not a reason to a priori distrust modern medicine. In fact, it may as well be a symptom of the thing being true.

Note: not blaming the scientists here, just saying that if someone wants to help people believe then they should probably start here by education the politicians about hypocrisy and the importance of being a good example. But OK, maybe you believe there is a conspiracy of those 1000 private planes owners going on, whatever that is. I don't claim there is a conspiracy, I show evidence that a lot of people who claim to care in practice do not.
