The goal of IQ2 US is to raise the level of public discourse on our most challenging issues. To provide a new forum for intelligent discussion, grounded in facts and informed by reasoned analysis. To transcend the toxically emotional and the reflexively ideological. To encourage recognition that the opposing side has intellectually respectable views. To engage the live audience as active participants who will ask questions and decide which speakers have carried the day by voting on the motions both before and after the debate.

  • Seriously? Did the cowgirl just say new viruses and disease are not relevant? You don't save the poor and diseased by requiring them too build a modern society on expensive renewables when even the wealthy world can't pay for them. Try running a steel industry or food industry on solar and wind. It's not gonna happen, especially not for the 3rd world.

  • Nonononono, the moron actually believes the credit crunch happened becqause of a lack of regulation?

    Man these people are the last I want to trust with regulatory power. They understand nothing.

  • America has gotten cleaner for decades: Air, water, pollution levels, cancer rates, disease...everything.

    People have been preaching about "carrying capacity" for generations, and it has long been proven a false idea (see Paul Ehrlich's "The Population Bomb"). We have greater food supply then EVER before in history.

  • I think the point that people always forget is the fact that if we continue polluting the world the way we are the amount of environnmental damage we will do i.e. loss of biodiversity, concerns about fresh water supplies we will reach the world's carrying capacity and it will not be much a world to live in.

  • What about the fact that the global temperature reatched a maximum in 1998. The temperatures will probably go down in the years to come.
