@luckytran You have nailed it on the head. And it's not only just climate change denial, we do this in the spheres of evolution, cosmology, and a number of other subjects leading us in the science community to be in this constantly frustrating position of trying to quell disinformation while trying to not come across as arrogant know-it-alls(despite the fact that scientists, do in fact, know more than science deniers). A lot of this stuff in my mind boils down to a failed education system, systemic pressures to maintain institutions like fossil capital and in the case of evolution, some religious groups, and the ludicrous idea that climate change deniers and young-earth creationists have out-smarted the "mainstream" or "establishment" scientists that are "out to get you" with their scary atheism and anti-freedom. It's quite terrifying to be quite honest and I have no clue where we need to go as a science community to turn this ship around because as it stands now, we are on a course to (and have arrived at in some sense) ignorance and superstition.
