How to use "Perplexed" in context?

It's baffling how many people seem perplexed when asked about their thoughts on climate change. It's not as though the vast majority of people are indifferent to the issue and have no ideas about what they could do to help, it's just that many people seem stubbornly resistant to believe that anything is actually wrong. Instead, they insist that the climate is always changing just naturally, and that anything we humans do to disrupt that process is inconsequential.

But is this really the case? The evidence seems to suggest otherwise, and it's high time that more people started to pay attention.
