After Copenhagen: Heating Up the Debate About the Future is a new online debate hosted by spiked in association with our Swedish sister magazine, Voltaire. It will run for most of 2010, with spin-off live events too, and will seek to reinvigorate the debate about human beings and our place in the world following the fiasco of Copenhagen. Development, industry, progress, pollution, polar bears, democracy, choice – all will be discussed in depth here. Join the debate today!

		Hands off the human footprint! Brendan O’Neill Never mind our leaders’ cobbled-together Copenhagen Deal: read and support spiked’s Alternative Copenhagen Deal instead.

17 February 2010
		The ‘taboo’ they just can’t stop talking about Brendan O’Neill Article after article after article now tells us that human overpopulation of the planet is the Great Unmentionable. Hmm, something doesn’t add up.

9 February 2010
		Let’s pick apart this politics of doom Ben Pile ‘Climategate’ confirms what many of us already knew: that claims of future catastrophe are political, not scientific.

4 February 2010
		The IPCC: a Vatican for the twenty-first century? Brendan O’Neill The problem with the IPCC is not that some of its science is dodgy, but the fact that it elevates science per se above politics and democracy.

19 January 2010
		When will the IPCC melt away? Rob Lyons News that Himalayan glaciers are not receding as quickly as claimed shows we need new ways to assess the evidence.

6 January 2010
		Why Copenhagen was bound to fail Ben Pile With deep divisions within the green camp and little popular support without, Copenhagen could not succeed.

21 December 2009
		This wasn’t realpolitik. It was reality-politik Frank Furedi The idea that a PR, celebrity spectacle like Copenhagen could change the world is worse than naive – it’s ludicrous.

		The search for green meaning Philip Hammond For our confused and cut-off leaders, Copenhagen offered a chance to magic up some historic momentum.

		An insult to humanity Dominic Lawson Given humankind’s ingenuity, we would have no trouble adapting to a possible rise in global temperatures.
