	Kicked out of the tribe: An interview with Chris Mooney http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1343745832 Excerpt from the interview: MOONEY: ... People who deny global warming, deep down, are engaged in us vs. them thinking and they think the environmental movement is really a socialist movement and wants to wreck economies. ILG: How is common ground possible when people are thinking in this way? MOONEY: You know, I really wish that conservatives would let liberals back into the tribe with them. Environmentalists are not allowed. It doesn't make sense to have things that way when both are living in the same country. Everybody gets their own information now; everybody has their own media. We're divided into teams and the other team is the bad guy. American politics is not integrally complex, it's very binary and the media is very binary.
