Debatepedia is "the Wikipedia of pros and cons". Its mission is to "clarify public debates and improve decision-making globally". Debatepedia is a project of the International Debate Education Association (IDEA), a 501c3 non-profit. It utilizes the same wiki technology powering Wikipedia to engage you and other citizen-editors in clarifying public debates by centralizing them into a single pro/con encyclopedia. This helps you to not only prepare yourself well for the debates but also help you and other citizens, and leaders to weigh ALL the pros and cons, develop positions, and make more informed decisions and votes.
One of the most populated portals of the Debatepedia is the Global Climate Change Debate portal.
This portal is dedicated to debates that relate to solving global climate change. There is a very thorough and well organized list of arguments and debate articles breaking down the pros and cons of the primary approaches to solving global warming.
