They didn't get that idea based on their own careful research. They were told that climate change was a hoax by powerful industries who wanted to take advantage of ignorance for profit. Those same industries were paying off politicians for the same reason.
The problem isn't the people who were lied to, it still falls on the government since they've dropped the ball on public education and allowed those industries to have too much power and influence.
