And instead instead of countering solely with scientific data (graphs bla bla), we should use visual evidence: show photos and videos of pollution around coal plants.

There’s regularly news about people’s tap water being flammable, or city-cized pile of fast fashion garbage in the developing world, or whale carcass filled with plastics.

And the reaction is to go purchase a new giant-ass truck and get the engine detuned to roll coal on a cyclist.

We shouldn't push other side away with statements like yours. It's vital to foster collaboration rather than dismiss their choices or views.

Ah, you were just concern trolling. Carry on then, sorry for taking your comment seriously.

Why is it anyone's job to coddle and cajole people who have no logical basis for their beliefs, no interest in changing them and will in fact double-down on them any time they feel the slightest bit challenged, such as when merely presented with an alternate view?

They've pushed everyone else away as part of falling down the rabbit hole of denialism, they're the ones who have to want to change their beliefs.

That is only marginally effective when a large portion of the voting public is motivated by "fuck you" and a conservative court is happy to intervene when regulations do get put in place because they'll make their friends' companies earn smaller profits.
