Climate messaging has the deck stacked against it. It requires and even demands that people abandon their skepticism, which tends to sound much like what charlatans and con men ask of you. It has some over-eager people on the left willing to propagandize (polar bear pictures trapped on tiny melting icebergs!) and exaggerate. It even strongly insists on measures that even the dimmest person can recognize as economically disastrous in the short term (which just so happens to be the period of time that people are most concerned with) for very long term benefits to a species that has for the most part decided that it no longer wants a future.

Some will insist that I am wrong on these points, and they're part of the problem.
