Notable Quotes
“A key hallmark of someone who's dismissive (about the climate crisis) is they literally will not and cannot listen. I don't think it's possible barring a miracle to have a positive, constructive conversation with somebody who won't listen. With everybody else, there is a secret to a positive conversation.
