Because there's no "conspiracy" that "they don't want you to know about" regarding climate change. Climate change has publicly accessible information that goes back decades. That's boring and doesn't give people a sense of importance.

But HAARP and other "true causes" of hurricanes hitting people who never get hit by hurricanes are surreptitious and give these nutters a sense of moral superiority. They feel important because "they know more than you".
