It's tough to say what the effect is. The science has been corrupted by political interests instead of an actual scientific discovery. The overblown histrionic predictions of doom from the activists/climate change believers does not help to give credibility of any effects that climate change may actually be having. Back in the 70s and 80s they were predicting an ice age by the early 2000's. That of course extreme scenario also did not occur. Once I started to understand what was happening to scientific research, the special interests, corporate and political interests on both sides of this equation an extreme view on either side naturally sets off my internal BS meter.
