The fact is that they are just regurgitating what they were told, so they will never take a real stance or think about it. At least the poster in the image is finally breaking out of the trance, even if it is 40 years later than he should have.
They’ve just been lied to again and again and don’t understand the science. I’ve actually managed to change a few people’s minds by pointing out 4 facts that if true mean climate change is real.
CO2 reflects infrared energy
CO2 gets trapped in our atmosphere
Humans have released millions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere
It’s getting hotter and hotter.
I generally challenge them to disprove these facts and offer to help them with sources validating them if they’d like. I think understanding the way CO2 works to reflect heat is the thing that usually convinces them, because they just don’t understand how greenhouse gasses could make it hotter.
