I agree, I'm not arguing that I don't look down on them (although "sneer" was a quote FWIW).
I look down on people who don't believe in climate change.
The "solution" IMO is to figure out where they are getting this misinformation and sue those sources out of existence. Fox + Alex Jones spring to mind.
They will never be receptive to the truth when that sort of propaganda is being consumed.
