That's ... not true? Children can learn a basic model of the greenhouse effect in school, and do so in most civilized nations. Whether this is sufficient is another thing entirely, but I would personally contend that (non-propaganda) education can never be 100% effective at causing someone to believe something?

Loads of people are well aware that wearing a mask would result in less coronavirus particles being emitted from my face if they were infected. But they don't act on that for various other reasons unrelated to the virus. The same is true of climate change. You can think that it's real and still drive your car for precisely the same reason that you can think that cirrhosis is real and still drink a few beers.
