Whining about X while doing X is a propaganda technique.
X could be ad hominem attacks, extrapolating based on straw-man models, manufacturing data, or any of the other denialist techniques.
"There you have it. A complex situation, limited measurements, and limited computation resources, but we are "deniers" because we don't believe a bunch of propaganda spread by those who are getting funding because of the fear, uncertainty and doubt they have been spreading. This is politics, not science."
Instead you wallow in the propaganda spread by those whose funding comes from interests vested in ruining the climate.
