Because intelligent people are sceptical and if the message is all one way traffic, debate is shut down, the MSM obviously pushing a narrative. Then intelligent people will do their own due diligence.

b) they are fearful of being personally less wealthy if we address the issue

Of course.
Do you know who isn’t having this discussion? Africa, India and much of Asia, South America. Because they aim to have our standard of living and our level wealth.
To attain that they need cheap energy, as we have enjoyed for decades.
Proposals for net-zero will make us less wealthy and prevent developing countries from attaining wealth.
