So it’s not why people deny climate change is real, it’s why they oppose plans to stop it. They simply prefer to face the consequences of climate change then the consequences of preventing it. As I said, people don’t want to be the ones forced to sacrifice anything.
No, I don’t think so. I think we’re well past the “it’s not getting warmer” and “it’s natural” excuses. Majority of people is at “I’m not going to drive less, make the rich fly less” phase. People don’t deny the underlying reason anymore. They just don’t want to be responsible for fixing it.

Opposition to the plans is what makes them deny the underlying reason.

It’s similar to stages of grief like denial, bargaining, acceptance.
