It didn't become so big so fast. It took way over a decade of scientists lobbying and shouting before anyone took notice. The Scientific consensus and will on Global Warming existed long before governments took interest. Governments who dismissed their concerns time and time again because of the negative impact on industry.
It's important to remember that despite what the sceptics claim that this issue was raging long before governments used it to win votes and large funding existed.
Also Science is rightly not interested in discussion and acceptance of all sides of a issue unless those sides bring concrete theories and evidence/results/reasoning to the table. Science is not a democratic system in which all views must be heard and given equal merit. It's a process by which to find out about our world and discussions in that field must revolve around evidence based reasoning and not political dogma.
The worst thing that happened to this 'debate' was the politicisation of Global Warming. It meant that it became not about science but about politics and that meant it had to be championed or attacked depending on what end of the spectrum your on. So childish imbeciles start framing everything in that context and we get no where. Meanwhile the actual science had been going on the years which out this rubbish.
