"he" is a huge powerful collective of similar viewpoints. If you don't feel the need to win them over how do you expect to ever affect change? "he" is not just some evil, fat-cat oil company exec; they are entire communities and large groups of broad-based people "he" is not an absolute position that global warming doesn't exist; it's a broad spectrum of opinions ranging from climate deniers to those concerned with the painful impact of treatment that may be widely ineffective. in short: discount huge portions of the population at your own peril; don't expect them to rally to your cause if they're beneath your consideration.

No, you can't simply shift the ideological division line. Someone who is convinced that climate is changing doesn't believe "CO2 is not a pollutant", regardless of how concern they are with the impact of the treatment, and it's disrespectful to put them in the same bag.
