Liberal frontbencher Malcolm Turnbull has called on people to take scientists seriously and not to listen to people like climate change sceptic Viscount Christopher Monckton, who dispute known facts backed by peer reviews.
The federal opposition's spokesman for communications and the broadband, says in the age of the internet, it's possible to find an argument for any cause and support for every view.
But, he says it's unlikely that people would seek to have an operation on their own body performed by someone who informed himself on the internet, but would seek help from a health professional who bases his actions on science.
Mr Turnbull says Liberals have a responsibility to look beyond the horizon on climate change.
His call to rally for the planet's health, comes as the United Nations chief Ban Ki-Moon warns climate change is generating an unholy brew of extreme weather events that threaten global security.
