"Confounds Farmers"?

Hadn't they heard of climate change?

  acknowledge, no

  Of course "farmers" covers a broad demographic (a spectrum). But yes, overall:
  
  heard of, yes
  acknowledge, no
  comprehend, no
  
  Is a fair assessment.
  
  Though, l'd add "heard of yes, but, excuses" (some justifiable, many, simply excuses to not change their mono-industrial farming as usual methods)

When we are fighting eachother for resources, remember which side was anti-environment. Let them suffer the most.
