Don't think it's just about seeming smarter-- it's also about power. Climate change can only be effectively addressed through collective action. There are no individual solutions to climate change. There is no "I got mine, screw you." solution- this is very threatening to the current economic and political order.
Science is filled with dangerous ideas to other structures of power. Evolution, human sexuality... so many ideas that could ruin the racket now enjoyed by some.
