I disagree :)
On one side there is no discussion when one side dismisses evidence. But that does not mean that there is no common ground, should both parties stop the black white thinking. The problem is just that the discussion is already in a place far away from logic.
well, I had some of those discussions recently. And while I stay respectful and just focus on the science, I have the feeling there is not even an understanding on which data to use and how to interpret it. That makes the whole thing very tiring and exhausting...but still, the discussion has to be done, else we endanger millions.
