Perhaps he is opposed to political solutions and
top-down control of society implied by belief in
climate change(justifying it "for the good of the planet")
proposed by jet-setting elite who will never change
their lifestyle: a hypocritical class of "climate priests"
pushing for extreme austerity and totalitarian control
of the average man while their
luxury lifestyles are exempt. The whole climate
politics begins to feel like a cult with carbon indulgences,
original sin of pollution, doomsday prophets and sermons,etc
This of course is very beneficial for fossil fuel
industry to turn climate research
into "church of climatechangeology" in
the eyes of public that will create huge opposition
to any practical reform just because it feels like forced
"doctrine from the experts" - regardless of actual value
or truth. Climatechangeology and "Faith in Science" arguments
will not receive "rational understanding" from
the value of their accuracy as long as underlying
political framework is built like a cult - they don't have
the neutrality of fact-based science and neither moral
power/conviction of religious doctrine.
Having the entire media apparatus on your side will
not make Climatechangeology more prestigious or
believable, in fact it would make it seem more cultish
and totalitarian even if its factual basis becomes
undeniable. People don't like totalitarianism and
implications of belief in climatechangeology is allowing
totalitarian control as end-goal.
