Accepting established science is not political. It's just data and reason.

But the "established science" is regularly overturned by new thinking and
new instrumentation. Just in the last 50 years the way scientists look
at planets and the universe has changed significantly.

Denying climate science and environmentalism is entirly political as there
are only political and profit motives and no scientific basis for it.

There's also the Chicken Little syndrome. There is a way to solve the
climate "crisis" without an "immediate disaster, we gotta fix it right now,
spare no expense" mentality. It is entirely political that the Chicken
Littles don't want to look at it.
