Please, try to understand that science is not an opinion. It's irrelevant whether a scientist is young or old, or which political party they vote for... a scientist is just a messenger of evidence.

Republican propaganda has convinced the American public that scientists are "elite" or "leftist" and therefore should not be trusted, and it's distorted people's view of science. Evidence is the same regardless of who observes it. Scientists publish their observations in peer-reviewed journals, and other scientists conduct independent studies to validate those observations. In the rare case a scientist makes a faulty claim, it's quickly revealed and rejected... The study that found a link between vaccinations and autism was demonstrated to be erroneous and rejected by the scientific community. Meanwhile, studies supporting climate change have been validated countless times making them irrefutable fact. In time the evidence always comes out, and attacking a scientist doesn't change evidence.
