Global Warming itself doesn't matter, it's just another battlefield. It could be about anything. It's always about "secret agendas" and "limiting rights".

And because of that it is impossible for them to agree under any circumstance. That would mean betraying their politics.
It's about politics to them and discussing politics with a partisan is useless. They don't want a discussion, they want a platform to spread their party.
But if you really want to discuss Global Warming you're better off forgetting about the "real or not" part and talking about the proposed policies. It's the real source of the discussion, backward as that may be.  |
Yep. Ultimately people have an issue with the political side of the issue. I don't have a stance really when it comes to political stuff because I really don't know. I hate politics, and I'm much more comfortable talking about stuff related to the field I'm in, which has little room for bullshit (despite what Azred and Co. claim).
