I don't think the right is entirely innocent in this debate either. I have friends on the right who are totally unreceptive to the idea that we might be affecting the climate, they outright disparage electric vehicles despite never trying them, and believe every conspiracy theory about WEF trying to depopulate or whatever.

I think in the end it's still just tribalism on both sides.

Please hear me clearly though: the "science" dudes are equally tribal and immune to reasonable debate. They don't have the high ground
