A few reactions.
(1) How do you even know this? This is not even a verifiable claim, it's just a derisive comment.
(2) Additionally, it is an elementary logical fallacy. "I claim the other side is not sufficiently educated about X, therefore X is not true."
(3) In this case, many sources in "the media" (your term, and again, a derisive and non-specific term, like your earlier "most people") are broadly correct. That is: serious assessments like the National Climate Assessment [1], summarizing the current state of the science, substantiate that there will be many varied and serious impacts of climate change.
