Advocates for and against are equally bought and paid for. Some of the loudest voices warning of climate change are still cruising around in some of the most inefficient, dirtiest vehicles on the planet. Hypocrisy is rife, orgs like the WEF are capitalizing on fear, and an industry around climate change has developed around it to bring in billions.
If you think pointing the finger at one group explains it all, I suggest you haven't looked deep enough. People have done to the noble quest against climate change what they always do to noble movements; it's been co-opted and corrupted.

People have done to the noble quest against climate change what they always do to noble movements; it's been co-opted and corrupted." I've long wondered why this oh-so-blatantly-obvious fact is so hard to grasp for so many. Right alongside the oft-ignored fact that your favorite politician couldn't care less about you as an individual, or as a group, except insofar as your existence as a statistic (your vote) gives them access to more power and / or money.
