Long story short, someone who does not accept climate change or its human origin does not accept the authority of scientific observation.
When coal started becoming popular in England around the 1300's, it was evident to everyone that burning coal polluted the air far more than wood, the primary fuel source at the time. Great clouds of black smoke billowed out of chimneys and smoke stacks. The haze was so heavy, you couldn't see down the street in the middle of the day. Collectively, people realized that burning so much coal was harming more than it was helping. I can't recall exactly what measure were taken, but a great reference on the topic is Coal: A Human History.
With climate change, the effects are less obvious. The scientific evidence is overwhelming: CO2 levels in ice core samples, temperature data across the 20th century, ocean temperatures from NOAA. However, because the effects are not as obvious as black clouds of smoke, if a person or a community doesn't hold a lot of respect for the organizations carrying out or funding scientific research, then you can imagine that they wouldn't have much reason to believe that climate change is happening.
Note, it is important to recognize that people who do not accept the human origin of climate change are not stupid. When rural Americans complain about condescending liberal elites, it's because of reasons like this. If I grew up in a town of 1000 people where the largest organization was the church, I would be likely to value Christianity more than public school or its attempts to impart a scientific worldview. True, I may not understand the finer points of p-value testing or statistical significance. But I am a thinking, rational being, who may see industrial progress as a threat (farmers, coal miners, trades people, small shop owners) to the security of my family. Given that "out with the old, in with the new" harms these rural communities, it is no surprise that they do not trust the source of this innovation: scientists, engineers, and the people who fund them.
I'm by no means a neuroscientist, but Veritasium made an interesting video based on the popular science book Thinking fast and slow by Daniel Kahneman.
Well it's like, why would someone buy this on eBay when you can buy the same thing for £30 cheaper on Amazon? It wouldn't make sense for the average Joe to put something up on eBay that's £30 more expensive than on Amazon.
And Max Brooks (Mel Brooks son) published this in like 2003. I'm not trying to split hairs, I'm just trying to say that zombie apocalypse stuff has been around long before vampires had sparkles.
Get them some over ear headphones with noise cancellation. It's wonderful for everybody.

I use this one which is a bit on the higher end but it is so so fluffy. I have an awful time trying to get out of bed in the morning.
