You need to distinguish between the scientific base, and activism through a particular political lens. The latter can be hysterical, that doesn’t have any relevance to the former.
Of course it has relevance to the former. Today’s science is highly politicized, and driven by ideology rather than objective observation. What else can be expected in a government-grant-driven system.
The hysterical reactions you see mostly come from the radical wing of left wing parties, they are rarely in power, and certainly are nowhere near making grant decisions.
