But "climate change is going to kill us all in 50 years" is also conspiracy-theory-ish. I'm not sure there's a conspiracy there (other than blaming big oil, which may be pretty much factual), but it's similar. It's sweeping everything up into one grand, good-vs-evil narrative that is only loosely connected to facts.
Now, sure, many people who are concerned about climate change don't go to that kind of extremes. But many do; the article we're discussing fits that mold (or at least the title does). On the other hand, not everyone who opposes certain measures to aid the climate is a climate denialist, either.
So be careful about "you're with me all the way, or you're an enemy" logic.
In fairness, you did say you're doing this to denialists. But be careful that the logic of your own position doesn't drive you further.
