Why be skeptical of climate change but not religion?
A lot of the climate change predictions failed to materialize.
Climate change isn't equivalent to religion in general. It's equivalent to Harold Camping. The world didn't end in 2011, so we can dismiss Camping as a prophet or a biblical authority. Or Pat Robertson--he said God told him a major hurricane would hit the US in 2006 and it didn't happen. We can dismiss him as a false prophet without rejecting Christianity.

To be fair, the same can be said of many religious prophecies. Muhammad, Jesus, Joseph Smith and Buddha all made statements about future events which failed to materialize in the given timeframe.
