I agree with most everything you say, but I am baffled by these two statements...

Huh? Take a side for the team that is making a difference! The decision to not take a side is sad and weak. Here's an analogy (probably not a good one, just came up with off the top of my head)...
You: "Well the climate change activists make some good points, but I see their flaws too, and scientists are divided on the topic, so I'm not going to take a side. Just let Bill Gates block the sun with clouds, it probably won't work anyway. It's a stupid fight to get involved in. The WEF are just exposing themselves, and I'm glad to see it. I'll just be quiet and mind my own business."
This is an obvious strawman of your position, but it's the only way I can think of to say, pick a side! Further the cause that matters.
