Good question. I guess I'm afraid that they will spread their ignorance 
to others. 

Look, if we spend lots of money cleaning up the fossil fuel producers 
mess, and it turns out it wasn't a problem, those who accept the science 
of Global Climate Change will look silly. (But then you'd also have to 
overlook the dying reefs, and reduction of the fish populations from the 
acidification of the oceans.) On the other hand, to do nothing, and have 
Climate Change  be true, will unleash misery on a scale that has never 
before been seen with many deaths from storms, and starvation. 

So, if you're going to play the game, do you play not to look silly, or 
not to look dead?
