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.

  • Al Gore ownes four mansions, flies around the world in his private jet dumping massive amounts of carbon in the atmosphere, yet he is against third world countries developing their coal and natural gas resources which (denies more than two billion people basic electricity use) that seems altruistic!

  • Such a fucking shame. He was taken too young.

  • @slytown What are you talking about? Brenda Ekwurzel holds a PH.D in isotope geochemistry from Columbia University, Gavin Schmidt holds a PH.D in applied mathematics from the University College of London and is a climate modeler for NASA, and Richard Somerville holds a PH.D in meteorology from New York University. Is it just a habit for global warming deniers to lie?

  • For those saying Crichton wasn't an authority on the subject, he did freelance study of the subject and has used legitimate sources to make his arguments. Two on the "other side" have basically the same credentials, non-educational. So, why can't Crichton make points as well?

  • @Nightversionn Quoting anything from Zimbabwe is pretty funny....

  • @itcanbecheezcaketime People can't believe that not regulating industries to death(or just driving them overseas where there are even fewer regulations) is a good idea without being paid by someone?

    I suppose someone owes me a lot of money....

  • One among the very few educated Americans I ever admired. Michael Crichton. Now who can write those novels like the ones he wrote. Wished he lived for another 30+ years. Really a great loss the world.

  • all that anti-regulation talk started to make me wonder about who pays this man.

    Not that I don't agree with him or anything, but it kinda made me wonder. But he did a good job, I think.

  • talking about adhominem falacies...

  • Oh my god, what the fuck was that?

  • Al Gore, doesn't he make salsa? I get my climate science from the night clerk at the Holiday Inn... doesn't everybody?

  • @neoldd1 Climate is also local. It is just an average on wheather, on a timeframe that best matches your argument.
