We have all been told to accept a lower standard of living because of climate change. Deniers are just ordinary people who noticed that people telling us this most loudly have abjectly refused to accept a lower standard of living themselves. Many even fly to climate conventions on private jets. So the idea that it's all fake is a much simpler and more compelling reason to ordinary people than "the sky really is falling and you need to learn to like eating bugs".
