    Summary:

    The environment can be polluted, as can public discourse. I'm Right and You're an Idiot examines the state of today's public square, showing how polarized conversations discourage people from taking action on issues such as climate change, and demonstrating how we can clear the air and become more powerful and effective communicators.
