The boomers in my life are starting to come around with it but they believe and combination of

  1. it's not man made
  2. it won't be as bad as people say/we can't know the future
  3. green tech like electric vehicles are too expensive

The first two are frustrating but don't really matter if we can engineer our way out of three. My dad got solar panels because they would pay for themselves eventually. I'm not saying we can just green tech our way out of the climate crisis but if green tech gets good enough it will go a LONG way

These are just anecdotes from interacting with my family. Your mileage may vary
