I blame alarmists like Al Gore. When people don't understand the science they only go by the public claims. Al Gore's movie made claims that failed to happen. It might be that he just got the time scale wrong but he lost the trust of the public. Climate science uses very hard to understand models it's out of reach of the lay person. So they have to trust the experts. Their only access to the experts is via the media. The current media is untrustworthy as they exaggerate to increase interest and gain click / views. Look at the impact this is having on politics in the US. Left and Right media are telling very different stories with the truth often somewhere in the middle. The resulting fracture is causing huge division.
