"In one way or another, though, all are custodians of a strategy whose guiding principle has been to avoid debate about solutions to climate change by denying its existence"

What!!!!! Which side of this issue famously declared "The debate is over"? Which side said compared questioning global warming to holocaust denial? Which side suggested outlawing denial of GW as environmental "hate speech". These people are delusional. (or just power mad liars)

Which side of this issue famously declared "The debate is over"?

Not the same thing.

guiding principle has been to avoid debate about solutions to climate change

They want a default judgment that the "debate is over" concerning (human caused) "climate change" itself, and start debating "solutions" to the fantasy "problem".

Climate Change" has been, and will continue, to happen from the beginning of Earth's creation. It can no more be solved, than we can "solve" the "problem" of plate tectonics.

One of the most horrible "climate change tragedies" (from the viewpoint of non-oxygen using early life forms) was the conversion (by other microscopic life forms) of Earth's early atmosphere from a sulfur-compounds/hyrogen-hydrocarbons/CO^2/ammonia base to the more efficient nitrogen-oxygen based; talk about "climate change"!

Those two are not mutually exclusive. Perhaps they are delusional, power mad liars.

"...avoid debate about solutions to climate change..."
Note the choice of words.
They won't actually debate climate change.
Unless you accept that it's real and are willing to debate "solutions" to it, you're just being unreasonable!
