You ignored any of the content presented in the meeting and then finished the piece with the usual alarmist talk about melting glaciers, and the psychology of people in the US that don't buy into the scare tactics. Sounds like you consulted with RealClimate.org rather than doing expensive investigative journalism. Shame on you.
In the future I'll be taking everything said on your program with a large gain of salt.

That is the way it is on WNYC and it works well. We can all post our comments and interact with each other about things that are current.
Also, I have no way of knowing how to rate the story suggestions with stars. It is completely a mystery not obvious to me at all.
I am not sure of the utility of discussion boards designed like this one. ]]> http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/theworld/posts/list/27209.page#860014 http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/theworld/posts/list/27209.page#860014 GMT ]]> http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/theworld/posts/list/27209.page#457418 http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/theworld/posts/list/27209.page#457418 GMT

So please, Mr. Moderator, do your thing. It must not be an easy job.]]> http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/theworld/posts/list/27209.page#792641 http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/theworld/posts/list/27209.page#792641 GMT I can't help but think Hugo Chavez, as reported in a recent news story, is feeling like a "moderator" as he begins to dictate education in Venezuela. Hey, there's a topic! Seriously, what I see lacking in the KUER forum is spontaneity. I'd like to know what people think about everything from the current OJ arrest and the Larry Craig bust to news that Syria is working on nuclear weapons. Why just today, a news item describes a "chemical weapon" explosion in Syria with "dozens killed" when a combined group of Iranians and Syrians were mounting the warhead on a scud missile. Wouldn't it be nice to get opinions and debate from your audience before this story is buried by the MSM?

Again, trust your contributors until they prove to be a problem (then give them the boot) and allow them to create the topics in real time. Otherwise, your forum will continue to be dull with a few people commenting days after the fact, or never, on news... some of which could change our lives. ]]> http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/theworld/posts/list/27209.page#473447 http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/theworld/posts/list/27209.page#473447 GMT

My hope is that people take advantage of the Flagging and Rating features to help direct the conversation and encourage meaningful dialog.
