What on this earth makes you think that?

The fact that it is constantly mentioned in all kinds of situations. No, climate change denialism isn't really a big problem in the UK. This article from 2015 says:

Britons are more likely to agree the climate is changing than at any time in recent years, with nearly nine in 10 people saying climate change is happening and 84% attributing this somewhat or entirely to human activity, new research has found. Two-thirds say they are concerned by global warming.

And this graphic shows concern has been on the rise since before XR's first action last November.

In short - 'awareness' is not the problem here. Maybe in the US, but not here. The problem is getting anywhere useful from that awareness. And that's why I'm so critical of people who seem to think getting into the news is a big win in itself. Its a little bit too self-congratulatory.
