What's nutty is their prognostications of doom and the fecklessness of their solutions, not the basic physical science.
Molecules absorb or reflect energy at different wavelengths, this basic mechanism is not open to interpretation for anyone who has actually studied chemistry and physics.
Siberia is warming that's why there's methane explosions from permafrost melting, sea level is rising a bit, glaciers melting, and so on. But we don't solve it by overhauling our entire energy infrastructure with something way more costly and impractical, we solve it with seeding iron in the ocean, debris near L1 lagrange, increasing albedo with sulfates, and so on. Even fission combined with direct air capture is a better solution, more so if we get fusion working which seems likely since commercial magnets are so strong now.
The people that think 100 years from now we'll have a climate crisis have zero imagination or perspective on how radically fast technology advances; there's zero chance in 100 years we'll have a climate crisis unless civilization ends in which case who cares.
