I understand why you feel this way, but saying it is impossible is too defeatist. People arent horses and their beliefs can change. Isn't it worth the sacrifice to acknowledge the concerns and political views of the opposing side if it means a chance of saving planet earth? We should find common grounds and start a fresh dialogue about climate change. I'm sure there are opportunities to do so.

How in the world will acknowledging their concerns save the planet? Pretending like they have not had their concerns acknowledged and listened to and addressed is also a bit condescending.

I'm not defeatist, but you are definitely not understanding the situation.

The common ground starts with truth, the common ground starts with Republicans being willing to acknowledge me as a human with beliefs too. There's a deep deep deep sickness in the information sphere of the Republican party that needs to be addressed.

The Democratic party has sever information problems on its fringe. But the Republican information problem is coming from the top, from the very leaders that run everything.
