'Yale Climate Connection' has a very concise and coherent discussion on Climate-Change Denialism: FLICC & CONSPIR

...As Yale Climate Connections reported earlier this year, about one in five U.S. adults and 37% of adults under 30 say they regularly get news from social media influencers — which means they’re likely consuming a lot of myths about climate change.

I asked John Cook, a cognitive scientist at the University of Melbourne studying climate misinformation, how people can distinguish truth from fiction. I worked alongside Cook in the 2010s to debunk climate myths at the volunteer-run website Skeptical Science...

Cook has found that debunking myths with facts alone is rarely sufficient to change people’s minds. But helping people recognize patterns of misinformation can inoculate them against misleading claims.

“What my psychology research has continued to reinforce and replicate is the effectiveness of technique-based inoculation,” Cook said by email. “Build public resilience against misinformation by explaining the techniques that misinformation uses to distort the facts.” [Ah. Good Luck with That]

Yes. I *know* this is simply once again preaching to the choir
