The syllogism;

If climate change is occurring, then we should regulate CO2.
We shouldn’t regulate CO2.
So climate change isn’t actually occurring.

is missing a condition, is it not?

Isn’t it necessary for P to be true if and only if Q is true?
In the above case, climate change can be true even if we should not regulate CO2
