And what do you propose as an alternative?

We've known about climate change for over thirty years and there's been no real substantive action nor any decline in atmospheric CO2 levels.

Discuss the actual predictions from mainstream climate science rather than the unlikely doomsday scenarios, like a hothouse Earth. And include the adaptability of humans and the potential of technological solutions. Weigh that against realistic scenarios in a cost/benefit analysis. Proclaiming society is doomed and humanity is going extinct is not only unlikely, it’s chicken little and ends up turning well meaning people off.
We’ve done all of that. Have you looked for it?
I have seen it, which is why I mention it. So no reason for the sky is falling bullshit doomerism. That accomplishes nothing.
