@shekinahcancook@meltedcheese Yes, if the climate collapses and results in a human extinction event, that will be learning "the hard way" that climate change was real because they refused to learn "the easy way" through scientific modeling of the climate.
The question in all of these scenarios is how much information do you need, and how open to information are you. The norm seems to be people need to learn "the hard way" because they struggle to integrate inconvenient facts.
