A leading climate change scientist says there is too much misinformation being spread about the theory.
Professor Barry Brook from the University of Adelaide says those who deny climate change often have ulterior motives.
He has published an article calling for scientists to step up and support the research being done in the field.
Professor Brook says it can take just a few minutes for popular opinion to undermine years of scientific research.
"Anyone can get up there on a website or on a blog, or even get an opinion piece published in a newspaper that just says a bunch of crackpot ideas that haven't been through any rigorous scrutiny," he said.
