"Hey neighbor. I'll totally help you out during this heat wave, but only if you have the same political opinions as me. You'd better make that apparent quick, because your gas tank will only last for so long".

On some level you have to realize that's a toxic attitude, right?

Well at some point we need to stop letting people believe that climate change denial is a reasonable stance to have. Letting folks stew in the consequences of their choices is effective.

Being friendly is far more effective than trying to punish people to make them agree with you. Especially when there's no immediate and obvious consequence of their individual actions.

Of course you're right. It's best to continue being friendly until they'd literally die outside and wouldn't need persuading.
