主持人：本期节目讨论了利用爱国主义促进气候行动的策略，分析了民主党和共和党在竞选活动中使用爱国主义的差异，并探讨了将爱国主义与气候变化议题相结合的有效性。研究表明，这种策略在美国等国家取得了成功，但在德国等国家却适得其反，这与这些国家的政治背景有关。
Adam Kinzinger：Kinzinger认为民主党与共和党一样爱国。
Katherine Mason：Mason的研究表明，将环保行为与保护美国生活方式联系起来，并将其定义为爱国行为，可以有效地改变人们对气候变化的看法。她还指出，避免使用激进的改革语言，而采用与人们信仰和价值观更一致的爱国主义语言，可以更有效地促进气候行动。同时，她还强调了在不同国家采取不同策略的重要性，以及避免使用排外的爱国主义框架。
