U-Me students debate climate change

Today Wassookeagers and their friends were treated to a presentation by the University of Maine Debate Society, whose members conducted a debate on whether the US should sign the Kyoto Accord. After the formal debate, the U-Me students held a free-form discussion about climate change as well as their experience of the debate process itself.

Wassookeag families talked about some of the issues surrounding regulation and climate change and also explored with the college students the benefits and detriments of adversarial structures for resolving conflicts.
