I've put together a list of Frequently Asked Questions on global issues at

http://www.geocities.com/rwvong/future/globalfaq.html

It's my attempt to sort out a coherent viewpoint from the mass of
conflicting information that's available. I try to present evidence
to back up my arguments, and to consider alternative viewpoints.
I also try to avoid self-righteousness and blaming (e.g. the US
isn't to blame for everything that's wrong with the world).

The main topics are

- nuclear weapons
- the environment
- poverty

There's a link to a page where you can leave comments (thanks to
Philip Greenspun). Comments and criticism would be welcome.
