Yes. It's unfortunate that the issue has become so politicized. It would certainly help if people weren't freaking out about it and overexaggerating. That just makes people default to denying it. Also, when people make blanket statements like "Republicans don't believe in climate change!!" that makes it political. Obviously there are some Republicans that deny it - but you'll have a lot more success if you don't make it a D vs. R issue.
Mine too. It's tough for many to take it seriously after finding out its biggest advocates whip around in their gas guzzling private jets, with a "do as I say, not as I do" mentality. Also, the China/India part of the equation is huge, and I haven't heard a good solution for this yet. There are people like Strum out there that say, "well, you can only control yourself" and think that making a change that affects a small percentage of the problem and banking on the other countries to "do the right thing" will work. I'm generally of the belief that ensuring the biggest parts of problems are fixed, not just banking on others to follow the golden rule, is important. It'd be good to get an answer for what they'll do to fix the problem as well.
