You're right. I agree with you.
But–and I say this with all respect and no judgment–I think the insight here is not to point at one's perceived opponents and say, "Yes! This describes my experience with them perfectly!"; but to ask oneself who are the screamers in ones own life who get one's own glossy-eyed stare.
It is very difficult and often impossible to pop someone else's bubble, so we should all work hard on popping our own.
As for the average climate denier[0], I won't defend them, but I'll say this: They're wrong about the climate, but they're screaming about something.
[0]By which I mean those who are sincere and not well-funded, financially motivated deceivers.
