That scientists predict and mispredict is nothing new, but the overwhelming evidence now is that climate change is here, and it's damaging.
If almost all climate change scientists are in fact wrong, but we decide that's a (slim) risk we can't afford to take and we do something about it then the worst that can happen is we perhaps slow down the economy of the world (which given that the economy, at least to my reading, is a self-referential pyramid scheme, doesn't really matter that much). There's even the possibility later if we discover that climate change is just a natural fluctuation that we don't have any impact on of just reverting to our old behaviour.
If we decide that climate scientists are wrong, and do nothing about it, but it turns out they were right, then the worst that can happen is that there is a huge amount of suffering, strife, and ultimately death.
Also, as far as I can tell from some limited research, "no tricks zone" seems to be pretty biased, and fairly easily debunked.
