It's warfare.If you go West Point,Annapolis,the Air Force Academy,etc.,you'll be required to study Sun Tsu's,The Art of War.
You must figuratively,go into your enemies camp,and sleep with him. Know him.
And in debate class,you'll be expected to argue either side of any issue tossed at you,or it's a fail.
Climate denial is easy to argue.It's character assassination,demonization,fear-mongering,cowardly play on patriotism,using an Adam Smith and US history which never existed,lots of a-Christian behavior,yet claiming the moral and ethical high ground.Any seven-year-old could master it.

Okay, I can see that. Would that warfare could be superceded by friendly persuasion.
Any seven-year-old can master Adam Smith and repurpose him?
The roads aren't full of Lightyears because advertising, not technology. I saw one of the inventors of the solar cell (

Agreed the climate doesn't care about our bickering.

As to dark matter,whether it exists or not would have no bearing on climate change.

Didn't mean to imply it did. Just that science isn't static. Eventually, they'll accept that Dark Matter was just dust all along.
