I often ask people like this that if they think climate change is real and an existential threat, what are they personally sacrificing to make me believe that they believe it. Usually the response is crickets, mumbles about solar panels and EV or outright anger that I would ask such a question.

Until you really show me some sacrifice, I dismiss such people as only believing in climate change because it is (1) Cool (2) Let's them feel superior or (3) a political talking point.
