It's also incredibly distressing to think about what the future will look like, why wouldn't people want to put their head in the sand?
When I hear the average person deny climate change, I feel it's more to do with being afraid. At this point people look for something to validate their doubt, which is why misinformation works so well, it's convenient to believe in nonsense.
If you told people that climate change was actually beneficial to them, they'd be more likely to want to believe it. In fact this what some political figure heads are doing.
I think most people are in shock at this point that it's become real. Especially people who have been deniers for the last 20-30 years.
