How to have better arguments about the environment (or anything else)

From climate change to armed conflict, our world is struggling with urgent global issues. But disagreements about how to solve them can spiral out of control. The only way to resolve intractable conflicts is to overcome desire to talk to allies more often than opponents.

How to have better arguments about the environment (or anything else) is a 10 page mini-comic by a social psychologist, two ecologists and a cartoonist, explaining the toolbox of communication we need to resolve difficult issues.
