It's not that binary. The majority of people do care and believe in climate change, but still rank it below more urgent sociopolitical problems. Unfortunately, this has a similar effect to outright denial in delaying most effective action to prevent it.
Yep, they say that they care but want it to be someone else's problem.
The numbers and polling do not support this conclusion.
