Pythagoras Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Great debate on CBC tonight, both sides well represented. It's the Monk debate. Find it on CBC.com, it's on tonight (you can time shift) and I'm pretty sure they podcast. Quote
admin Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Agreed, I didn't catch the whole debate, but what I did get to listen to was great. More to think about. Quote
TerryH Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 I posted the audio and video links in another thread. Yes, it is a great discussion. Terry For all those following this thread, and all the others we've had on Global Warming, you may be interested in listening to or watching the Munk Debate held recently in Toronto. It's available in audio at Munk debate mp3 and in video here, Munk debate video The debate's resolution was "Climate change is mankind's defining crisis, and demands a commensurate response." On the pro side they had Elizabeth May and George Monbiot, and on the con side, Bjorn Lomborg and Nigel Lawson. If one's measure of victory is which team changed the minds of the most people in the audience, then the con side won. Anyway, it's interesting listening. In my biased opinion, the "pros" resorted to the usual emotional hype and the "cons" made very reasoned arguments -- rather like the discussion going on here. :lol: Terry Quote
