There is a streak of contrariness in some people that ignores the facts and will simply disobey the authorities.
It doesn't seem like an acquired thing, so it seems that a certain percentage of the population was born with contrariness.
I imagine in some ways it could lead to survival if the rest of the tribe followed a fatal order. Still in modern society it just seems to be an annoyance and a hindrance.
We are seeing it on display with Covid where people won't get vaccinated or wear a mask. That behavior allows the virus to continue and stay dangerous.
I don't know if the climate deniers are a significant force, but our use of oil seems unabated and pricey. I realize the electric vehicles are not the same as gasoline, yet but we keep buying, when available, giant cars that most of us don't need.
I think many of us have made world friendly decisions in our choice of lightbulbs or energy efficient appliances, but it seems a bit odd that people complaining about gasoline prices buy gas guzzlers?
