And it's not just changing the mindset to accepting that CO2 is causing severe climate issues - the bigger hurdle may be getting us to accept the lifestyle changes to make a difference even when we come to accept that there is a severe problem.
Just a small personal example: 15 years ago I had solar panels put on the house we had at the time. Five years later we went to sell the house and the real estate agent said that the panels reduced the value of the house because too many people don't like the looks of them (they were on the back of the house) or were worried about maintenance (which was almost nothing) or how much it would cost to get rid of them (even though they would keep producing electricity for a very long time and at that point still had 20 years of warranty left on them).
