I have just finished watching a podcast of this Monday's Munk Debates on climate change. As many of you will know the debaters were George Monbiot, Elizabeth May, Bjorn Lomborg and Nigel Lawson. The question was whether climate change is the defining issue for humanity.
I would recommend that you watch it, and I hope to have comments over the next few days. To my mind, the most valuable contribution of the debate was to underscore the need for a balanced response to those who would seal off debate, dictate policy and shout down all dissenters. In particular, Bjorn Lomborg offered a thoughtful approach that bears much closer scrutiny. I am picking his book up this afternoon and hope to have more on it later.
