Can embracing civic nationalism help us find common ground on environmental issues?

it could but it could very easily lead to american exceptionalism

1st: I ask for the hard statistics that suggests this is likely to happen.
2nd: I'd take a case of American Exceptionalism over bigotry, hatred, political violence, ETC. It's not perfect, but it's still better. And better is...well, better.
3rd: I'd argue that living a life steeped in embracing the culture and beliefs of others would cause us to apply that view to the entire world, thus being more empathetic and dispelling the air of American Exceptionalism.
