> mainstream climate change research seems to be lacking skepticism when it comes to claims that we're all doomed.

That isn't enough. Mainstream physics research lacks skepticism about the laws of thermodynamics. Mainstream biology lacks skepticism about cell division.

When evidence for a proposition is strong, skepticism is weak.

If you want to argue for climate change skepticism, you have to provide evidence for to raise that skepticism. Yet every time someone does so, it gets shot down.
