Low IQ people can’t comprehend the science, but they are easy prey for demagogues who point out that the elites who tout climate change have no desire to limit their consumption or in any way live as if they believe climate change is real.

This is partly an elite problem because they’re not willing to lead in the only way that might actually work, which is by example.
