You could start by 'educating' scientists like Richard Lindzen, William Happer, Judith Curry and Ivar Giaever. Would the population act differently if they rose to these folks' intellectual level?

Well, if you always stop actually listen to these scientists at the first sentence, then you are not educated (IMHO, sorry, no offense).
To be educated IMHO, we should care about reasons of what they say more than the title of what they say. It is not unusual for scientists to draw wrong conclusions from the the right reasons, and those right reasons can help you draw your own right conclusions.
When each of us can maintain our own set of knowledge/conclusions under a set of consistent reasons, then the society will be much more resistant to any kind of appeal to authority/popularity logic fallacy.
