Knowledge is just a belief that turned out to be true.

is it? I'm not so sure about that

it could also be a non-belief that turned out to be true, so that kind of shoots down that theory

yep, "belief" is definitely the wrong word to use here, "truth" or "reality" would work since climate change is true & real, and having "different beliefs" is definitely not the same thing as having your own truths and reality, which is why climate change deniers generally get mocked by people
