Telling people "you are the enemy" certainly isn't going to win them over to your side.

People who are stirring up discussions and ignore the answers have an agenda, they are trying to make it look like there is still serious disagreement about the existence and causes of climate change, because they want to hinder mitigation.

It is no use to try to win them over, that's not why they're arguing.

True, but clearly labeling people as "the enemy" might help others decide who to believe.
Calling someone "the enemy" doesn't help people decide who to believe. Belief about scientific topics like global warming should be based on facts not in-group/out-group thinking.
