I actually disagree. They will continue to deny it until it becomes too big to deny.

Then they will turn to ecofascism and claiming that there's not enough resources for everyone and only they have the smarts and tools to dole out the resources to the poor dirt people that they don't give a rats ass about. They won't change anything, they'll still be ready to destroy the environment provided it benefits them, but they'll use is as a tool keep people down.

The second it becomes convenient, they will use ecological devastation as just one more tool in their toolbox for controlling the narrative and controlling people.

You are probably correct... As soon as they can't deny it it will likely go from "not real" to "the libs fault" so fast it'll make our heads spin...
