I can and did, eugenics was an accepted science with advance degrees conferred at many universities.You can’t seriously compare action against manmade global warming with eugenics. Also, history is full of example their inaction lead to huge costs and problems take for example lead in paint and fuel.
That at the same time the study of manmade global warming and its effects isn’t a new scientific field. That scientific studies have been made for many decades. Also, the last report from IPCC is a monumental report with hundreds of contributing scientists, that are leading in their fields, and with 12 000 citations.
It was based on a flawed ideology, and was cast into the trash bin of history when invalidated.
While the Physics of CO2 being a greenhouse gas is solid, the climates sensitivity to the added CO2 is highly uncertain.
The vast bulk of the IPCC reports "are what if" scenarios, predicated on high climate sensitivity combined with high CO2 emission rates.
Many of the actual climate scientist who worked on IPCC AR5, felt the need to send a letter to the editor of Nature,
because their findings were not reflected in the final report.

When the Scientist working on the IPCC report find a most likely value of equilibrium climate sensitivity of 2.0 °C,The most likely value of equilibrium climate sensitivity based on the energy budget of the most recent decade is 2.0 °C
yet the alarmist continue with the demands for immediate action, their motives become suspect.
I think, long term that AGW will end up in the same trash bin as eugenics, and it should.
