Scientists don’t have a good record when they get involved with politics. In the not too distant past, leading scientists, to choose one example, supported genetics and were instrumental in convincing various democracies to support policies such as race-based slavery (abolished due to “science denying” religious fanatics), not to mention the holocaust. In the 20th century, a king of Britain was killed by doctors relying on accepted sciences, who encouraged him to smoke. Depending on the settled science of the week, doctors have been encouraging, and the discouraging, mother to nurse their babies. Forty years ago they were predicting an ice age.
On top of that, the environmentalists regard any of their dogmas with a religious fervour without thinking things through (which has caused many deaths, e.g. banning DDT thereby causing massive increases in malaria, and banning GMOs causing hardships in many countries whose farmers are forced to use old fashioned and less productive seeds).
However none of this has anything to do with Torah. We should always be a bit skeptical of the goyim’s hachmos since they are based on ignorance, or denial, of Ha-Shem.
