Yes and I don't think people are going to wake up till everyone faces the consequences of climate change in their personal lives, which is quite honestly just sad.
There were people infected with Covid, in hospital, which still denied that Covid is real. Granted, those extremes are rare, but it shows how resilient in their beliefs deniers are. I think you are quite optimistic in thinking people will wake up.
Nevertheless, we don’t need everyone to accept the reality, for us to be able to take action as a civilization.
I don't think this is going to be enough. We see everyday people affected by the pandemic yet many of them still refuse to get vaccinated, keep distance or even wear a mask... They will just dismiss these consequences as "one offs"...
I believe that our best chance is to do as much as we cand right now and to induce a sense of climate awareness into the younger generations. Bring them up believing, well, actually knowing, that the climate must be respected and protected constantly.
It might sound harsh but we're lucky that large scale pandemic like this had comparatively lower death rate, the scenario might've been completely different if it was more fatal. So, I think people will wake up if there are harsher consequences in large of chunk of population in their personal lives than covid (this is pretty horrific that we as humans with all our knowledge and technology can't prevent this without immediate danger).
I know that there are going to be some people even in that case to deny climate change, but that would be significantly smaller minority compared to what it is right now in case of covid (at least I think so).
