The real problems are
a) Redirected despair - liberals' despair over the Republican election victory has been redirected to AGW. Some are now convinced them that the world will be underwater within the next two elections.
b) Lack of imagination - AGW has become a religion: to question any aspect of AGW or to propose new alternatives or new solutions is instantly interpreted as charlatanism. Minds are doctrinally set in concrete and are consequently both scientifically uncritical and uncreative.
Many AGW proponents are modern-day Thomas Malthus': no credit is given to human ingenuity, no possible solutions exist (other than the ones they parrot), and they think we're all gonna die (and SOON, now that Trump has won). Gloom-and-doom downers all. It is no wonder their normal friends won't speak to them (which only increases their despair).
