The problem is that many people (who express that conviction) treat "Science" just like the God in the famous anecdote: http://epistle.us/inspiration/godwillsaveme.html

It is important to understand the limits of science. It won't save you universally from everything, no matter what you do. Your own action (or inaction, in case of waste) determines what can be done.

FWIW, I heard Joe Biden considers climate change to be a crisis and wants to tackle it in a moderate way. Go figure.
