No, they are not equivalent, as there is at least some legitimate basis for suggesting that GMOs are, in some cases, bad news. At the very least, there is a legitimate basis for scrutiny, given the lobbying power of the entities producing these goods. In other words, while the reaction is often hyperbolic and silly, there is at least a bit of gray area where you could carry on a meaningful discussion about the virtues and drawbacks of GMO's.
There's really no such room in the case of climate change. There is consensus.
