I've noticed again and again that some people just seem unable to accept the vast amount of evidence that has been piling up in front of their eyes for the last forty years. They do not seem able to process the data, primarily because they cannot accept the conclusion this would lead to, namely that the global human civilization faces a collapse.
This does not have to do with education it seems. Lots of school smart people seem fall into this category and conversely I've had uneducated lower-class people come to that conclusion a long time ago.
There's a saying that a new paradigm does not get accepted into mainstream because of it convincing its detractors but because they all die in the end.
I think this is somehow the same with the climate crisis. The detractors and denialists will never accept any evidence that we put in front of their eyes; they cannot accept the conclusion, no matter what.
