  6. Munk Debates on Climate Change: Ottawa and Toronto

    in Soundboard

    Posted · Edited by Guest

    I found that their opening statements were so well done that it almost seemed like they had a teleprompter in front of them. Our Director was there and said that they didn't.

    I think that with the climate gate issues brought up (of course), they had to focus lots of attention on that....which was umfortunate.

    Question period in Ottawa was really intense after the debate because of that.

    I was amused too, and impressed...I really liked the moderator...we will see him running for the liberals in toronto in a few years I betcha.

    I agree, it was pretty great.

    Elizabeth and Bjorn have a long term hate on for each other. Putting them in the same room for this was smart.

    Monbiot was fantastic. Very clear, especially since I found Lawson incomprehensible at times. What a character.

    Did anyone watch through webcast? I heard that some comments that came up were pretty great, especially while Bjorn was speaking. I didn't get to see the comments...

    This should be lots of fun, and free in Ottawa.

    Debate:

    C02 levels in the atmosphere are climbing steadily higher. Some believe this is having a devastating effect on humans and nature, while others argue that the threat has been overstated. Is this the moment for a bold international treaty to curb carbon emissions? Or, are the social and economic costs of reducing C02 emissions too high in world where a billion people live on a dollar or less a day?

    Just days before the United Nation’s historic Copenhagen summit the Munk Debates will tackle one of the great public policy questions of our time: how should the world respond to climate change?
