As a lead-in to the historic climate change summit in Copenhagen, the Munk Debates in Toronto will be holding one of its famed debates on December 1st. The question: how should the world respond to climate change?
In the pro-corner (that is, supporting significant action against climate change) are the leader of Canada's Green Party, Elizabeth May, and the famed British journalist and author, George Monbiot.
Taking them on will be the Danish professor, Bjorn Lomborg, author of the wildly popular Skeptical Environmentalist, and Lord Nigel Lawson, a former British journalist and parliamentarian.
The debate itself will begin at 6:45 pm and continue until 9:00 pm and will be held in Toronto's Royal Conservatory. Tickets are available to the public starting at $20, but space is limited. If you're like me, and can't find the time to get down to Toronto, the debate will be broadcasted online at www.munkdebates.com .
I highly encourage you to watch the debate. The Munk Debates only happen a few times per year, but are very successful and wonderfully popular. The most recent debates have touched on topics like foreign aid and world security and have included the likes of Stephen Lewis, Rick Hillier, Niall Ferguson and Sam Power.
Happy debating...
