There is a lot of information out there. I, personally, work as a programmer while not having a doctorate of math (which would disappoint Turing) nor writing my code as formally proven statements (which would disappoint Djikstra). I do my work (along with the vast majority of Americans in the workforce) on a computer which, if breaks, I can only hold up towards the sky and hope some divine intervention fixes - I don't know the conductivity of copper nor the tensile strength of silicon. I also can only guess at what the majority of people actually do with their computers.
All that said, I'm pro-computers because I've got enough familiarity to know it's not a terrible idea and I know that some smart people are intimately involved with computers and so I trust it to all work out.
I am similarly unfamiliar with specific climate studies but trust that climate change is a real issue that needs to be addressed. I'm not going to start calling out a climate denier at a party with specific points of relevance because I don't have a solid grasp of things and, honestly, don't tend to do that at parties - but I'll still look on with judgement at climate deniers as I'm firmly of the opinion (based on popular science) that they're making baseless claims.
