Yeah, you're right.
People overall tend to not act on new scientific knowledge, but there's a difference between that and being willfully ignorant of the facts and attempting to spread misinformation.
I know that my carbon imprint can be greatly decreased, and that we all need to make large sweeping changes to have any real impact on climate change. I know those facts, but don't act on them as much as I could. That doesn't mean I deny climate change.
To have someone straight up deny things when faced with actual empirical evidence, is largely a right-wing politician practice.
