This reminds me of the argument I had with folks in another thread, that the best way to deal with anti-vaxxers is to debate them. To elucidate them and show them that their claims are wrong.
This is a great and separate example of how that does not work. There's nothing to debate when people believe solar is causing extreme weather changes or is burning your body. No matter how many facts you bring up or how important the money is, they've already decided where they stand and there's nothing you can do to move them. They will die for and with their views. And they will make their views your problem, and blame you for their problems.
And unfortunately, these issues are all coming from the top down.
