If you are watching a volcano go off and people are running madly around trying to survive it and one person says, "There's no such thing as a volcano!" Are you going to sit down and try to convince this person that there is a volcano? No. Because that person is going to be dead soon. And you don't want to be dead too.
I see climate change something like this. People either believe in science and are convinced that it exists or they don't believe in it. Trying to convince people climate change is happening isn't really useful.
In the end you do what you need to to survive. Just remember there are still people all over earth that don't believe that space travel exists and that it was all done on a Hollywood sound stage too.
For example, if you live in Beijing are you going to try to convince the government to stop air pollution that is now killing 4400 people a day? Or are you going to move to the country first if your child or relative has asthma or breathing problems already from it?
So, what I'm saying here is "Save yourself first"
You aren't going to be able to save anyone else if you don't save yourself first.
