    Environmental policy should be non-partisan.

In my opinion, policy in general should be non-partisan. It should be data and results driven and while conflicting ideas and opinions are part of the discovery process, digging your heels and becoming contrarian solely for political reasons is the wrong attitude to take. Things like this scenario show how detrimental partisan politics can be when it comes to reasonable and effective governance.
