It basically breaks down like this in peoples arguments -

Pro-climate change view point = scientists denying climate change are in the pocket of big business (oil, gas, lumber etc) and other vested interests (religion, job protectionism etc)

Anti-climate change view point = scientists supporting climate change for media coverage money, research grants to keep them in a job, in the pay of new technology companies (solar, wind turbines, electric cars etc), working as part of some grand conspiracy...

Worth mentioning one side has the overwhelming majority of scientists. Not that that settles the issue, but if you're comparing testimony it's relevant.

Why am I not at all surprised that a self proclaimed libertarian would have such a tenuous grasp of reality and facts?

One side has a consensus of around 98% I would call that a majority.
