Monbiot's invitation to argue

I don't always agree with George Monbiot's point of view but do find he makes me think and there's been many a time that he's made me aware of events and issues I didn't know much about. I value conversation and a dialogue that moves on and used to think that these forms of communication were at odds with 'debate'. I've changed my mind about that. I think skilled argument and debate has a key role in moving us on, so I note with interest Monbiot's tour of the UK to engage in arguments and debates and will try and get along to one of these events.
