Oh fun we are having a semantic debate now. I guess nobody wins. I think a little dose of media literacy is needed here. Obviously scientists aren't literally "refusing to accept", "rejecting", or "don't believe" this data is accurate. Rather "disbelief" in this sense is a normal phrasing used in media to describe the sense of surprise or shock on the part of experts who didn't expect this to happen. One scientist said it was "unheard of". Yes the article is replacing that with "disbelief" in the figurative sense, but we all know what that means. It's not clickbait.
