Oh don't worry...there's plenty of "respected climate change supporters" who are responsible for setting policy that have qualifications other than climate science...such as economics, etc. 
There's an awful lot of grant money around if you put in the right papers...and an awful lot of career suicide if you go against the approved state religion which states the Earth is a steady state system that has always had the same climate and will never change ever again in the future...and if it does it must be mans fault...
It almost does become religious...for example the scare campaign over the Great Barrier Reef. We must do everything in our power to protect it so for ever more people can appreciate it. Too bad it wasn't even there as little as 14,000 years ago, and probably won't be there again in the future. That's what's called living on an ever-changing planet instead of a stable one with no change.
