so, we've moved from "ots not real" through past "maybe its real, but its not.human caused" all the way to "its real and we can't do anything about it"/"its too late to do anything about ot"

I doubt it's a natural evolution.

Climate change denial was the product of oil companies and worked on idiots. The "it's too late anyway" is likely also the work of oil companies and works on people who think they're smarter than the idiots.
