Propose your focus questions/topics here!

The initial reading materials for our Climate Change discussion group have been e-mailed to everyone.

Please familiarize yourself with the basic issues surrounding Climate Change, if this is new territory for you, and take a moment to suggest a narrower focus for discussion--James and Margaret have suggested a few already. Check them out on comments from the last post.

We plan on sending out additional reading materials for the focused topic by Monday of next week.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated!

Discussion Ideas

Hey All!

Welcome to the blog. We know the name may be a be presumptuous, but with this group, I have a good feeling we'll live up to it. First item of business: we need to get a more complete list of discussion topics from everyone. Here are the topics that we generated last Thursday:

Emergent Properties
String Theory
Quantum Physics
Socialized Healthcare
Immigration
Nuclear Power
Alternative Energy
Free Trade
Future of Authoritarian Regimes
Privatization of Education
Political Candidates Overview
Supreme Court Justices Overview
Romney and Mormonism
Gay Marriage/Civil Unions
Law and Religion

Please respond to this post with any additional topics you would like to propose to the group.

After we've received everyone's additions or approval, we'll post the comprehensive list for people to rate their preferences, so we'll have a pool of topics that the group as a whole shares some interest in.

Please respond by Friday, October 12, so we can all have plenty of time to prepare for our first get-together.

Thanks for you input and willingness to participate!
