My little community college's Climate Change series featured Pastor John Lund doing a back-and-forth discussion about ethical and theological perspectives, not only about climate change, but how humanity takes on, or avoids, working towards common interests. The meeting went on for almost two hours, just because so many people had something to say about "tending the garden."
A contingent of jackasses was on hand, as usual, but their agendas were not on the agenda, and nobody was interested in fighting with them. One particularly excitable fellow tried to advocate Gavin Menzies's theory of Admiral Zhen's Ming Chinese fleet not only discovering America (completely discredited), but mapping an ice-free Arctic Ocean on their way back to China in 1421. The discussion moved on.
One thing that happened was a consensus that, no matter what was going on with the climate, society could do a lot better than it does in coping with its collective problems.

Media Watch: Trash A Go Go -- It's too bad ex-champ Mark drew such an untalented partner on Dancing With The Stars, but it's just one example of "happens to the best of them." (His ol' man is stuck with the name Corky, and Cloris Leachman to boot.) Lance Bass dominates the lady who is supposed to be his teacher -- bad move if he wants to learn, or win. Once the next few schlubs are gone, he'll be next, and he's no schlub. My current top four -- Brook, Misty, Toni, and Warren, but watch out for that kid who's dancing with Julianne Hough!
