Thank you--I largely agree with you, particularly on the frustration of unproductive dialogue. I wonder if we should just remove science from the equation. Let's focus on the fact that group A wants to act on climate change while group B does not. It's just a difference in value preferences. At root, this is a political problem and it needs a political answer. If group A wants to act on climate change but group B will not vote for it, then there must be some trade-off or some exchange in which both groups benefit. Maybe group B would rather act on gun violence, or group B would rather lower taxes--it doesn't matter. But the whole purpose of having professional politicians is so that they resolve these political problems.
