Climate Change Discourse Debate - 2/4: Imogen Parkes (Opposition)
Channel: Thomas Wragg
Date: 02/02/2012

Debate organised by University of Birmingham People & Planet Society and University of Birmingham Debating Society. We thought it'd be useful to have a debate about this before Go Green Week (6-10 Feb) http://ow.ly/8BvtT.

The motion: This house believes the current climate change discourse of 'catastrophic climate change' is failing to bring about environmental sustainability.

Proposition:
- Polly Higgins (Barrister and author of 'Eradicating Ecocide')
- Christopher Harris (Civil Engineering and Climate Change PhD Student)

Opposition:
- Adam Ramsay (Editor of Bright Green Scotland, former President of Edinburgh University Students' Association)
- Imogen Parkes (Worlds Debating Quarter finalist 2011, Workshops Convener at University of Birmingham Debating Society, English Literature undergraduate)

As always there will be prizes for the best audience speeches! All public debates are sponsored by Allen & Overy LLP.
