There’s also not much of attempt on the left to understand climate change better.

Every weather disaster is directly attributed to climate change, even if it scientifically can’t be directly linked.

This convinces deniers that there isn’t a problem and people are being “alarmists”.

Particular weather events can never be directly linked to climate change.

Most people understand this. In life casual chains are rarely clear cut. "Caused A" and "made A significantly more likely" are interchangeable outside of academic debates.

One has to be severely climate change denialist to focus on such a detail. It's a strategy of sowing uncertainty.
