I agree with you that it has become more and more difficult to communicate.  How did we get so polarized?  Life is certainly not merely a matter of individual opinion; actions have consequences. Yet people seem to think it's all a matter of 'liberal' or 'conservative' viewpoint.  Yes, the article will alienate those who support Trump.  It's hard not to tie climate change to him when he is so blatantly denying the science and defunding research. If only the enablers and supporters would stand back and really think about what his tone-deaf attitude will mean to them and their families.
