I am not biting my lip these days. I mean, i what's been really great about this is making friends like john,. who i am curious, why are we say anything? John's brilliant. John is someone i really trust at a deep level. And when we disagree, it causes me to look at what i'm thinking, what i believe, and where are the holes in it. What mit, why do we see things differently? The stuff is confusing. It's really easy when you get black and white. But we don't. And there's actually a lot of colors in this whole system too.

Most Americans support climate action, but you wouldn’t know it from Congress or the courts – or from most of the media. People on both the left and the right experience the same devastating floods, the same life-threatening heatwaves and the same catastrophic wildfires.

How can we learn to bridge ideological divides, develop trust, and find the common ground needed to rebuild respectful civil discourse?
