What you call "the new reality" is merely your personal belief; you and others who are gullible believe it and thus it is your idea of reality. You can speak for yourself as to what your motivation is.

...and what are the motivations of those who are trying to undermine the science?

"Undermine" is a loaded word, as is "the science". The former shows bias (or paranoia?) in that disagreement is seen as conspiracy; the latter shows arrogance in that you equate a consensus of opinion as proof of a supposedly incontestable truth. It brings to mind the tale of the Emperor's New Clothes where mass delusion prevailed. In other words the global warming hoax is considered by its supporters as beyond reproach, and any dissent in the scientific community is seen as invalid or not scientific.
That is the nature of all politics. There is power in numbers. It has nothing to do with science and everything to do with attempt at attainment of power and authority.
