Construction of an imaginary 'denialist machine' allows them to claim that the public actually supports their solutions, and when confronted with polls that demonstrate this is not so, to give them the chance to say the public would support them if they weren't being bamboozled by the 'climate denialist machine.'

High Sticking: The Flaws of the IPCC and the Hockey Stick Model | The Foundry: Conservative Policy News.
An article written last year by Kesten C. Green, J. Scott Armstrong and scientist Willie Soon write that scientists in many respects are being paid to make, at best, guesses or projections of how climate change actually works and what temperatures will be like in the future.

There is no empirical evidence that they provide long-term forecasts that are as accurate as forecasting that global average temperatures won’t change. Hansen’s, and the IPCC’s, forecasts, and the recommendations based on them, should be ignored.”
