Round 4:Closing arguments and sta...
Is Global Warming man made and Can we stop it?

Do you believe in Global Warming? I do. But I do not think we can stop it. We know emissions of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide are increasing. These green house gases trap heat in earth's atmosphere and thus result in increasing the temperature of earth. The only one we are trying to reduce is carbon dioxide why? Methane produces three times the heat that carbon dioxide does. Why not decrease methane too? Animals and humans produce methane. You just know that...
Human activities are the main cause global warming.


First off, I'd like to thank my opponent for joining this debate and wish them best of luck to them now to clarify a few definitions: (merriam-webster) human- of, relating to, or characteristic of humans activities- the quality or state of being active (in this case, pollution and burning of fossil fuels) main- primary cause- a reason for an action or condition global warming- an increase in the earth's atmospheric and oceanic temperatures widely predicted to occur due to an increase in...
man made global warming was probably having a significant impact on our environment

detractors from MMGW man made global warming, who say it's not ssignificant, and only a hoax, usually rely on sun flares and volanoes. if you don't know what i'm tlaking about, then don't debate me. essential facts. one is that studies have shown that the sun cycles have accounted for only a third of the warming that's occurred. the other is that the volcano theorists have never cited sources. the other is that they think 1.5 or so degrees is all that can really be attributed to ma...
Global Warming will not destroy Earth, and should not be so quickly acted against.

Alright. I'm going to start by wishing whoever my opponent may be, good luck. There are many reasons Global Warming should not be so quickly acted against. The main base of my argument will beneficial. Yes, that does sound a bit crazy, but allow me to explain. The last time a warming of the Earth's climate happened was around the Medieval times. This is also known as the Little Climate Optimum. Here, the world was much warmer, and civilizations thrived. Winters were shorter, and less harsh...
Global Warming is real

Well I believe that global warming is real because the temperature is steadily rising and the world won't believe that. Car emitting amounts of CO2 gas in the world. Here is the list of the top 20 CO2 Emissions. THE TOP 20 CARBON DIOXIDE EMITTERS Country Total emissions (1000 tons of C) Per capita emissions (tons/capita) Per capita emissions (rank) Growth (in %, 1990-96) United States 1446777 5.37 (1) (9.9) Peoples Rep. of China 917997 0.76 (18) 40.0 Russia Federation 431090 2.91...
Global warming is not solely humans fault.


I believe global warming is not caused by humans....
Govt will use global warming and health issues as excuses to control every aspect of your life.


It is quite apparent, if you don't stick your head in the sand, that Govt is going to use these two issues to infiltrate, limit and control every aspect of your life right down to deciding what color of car you can have and what kind of oil you can fry your food in. Here are just a few of the most absurd and ridiculous examples of govt violations of freedom of choice and the right to choose using the global warming and health issues. Some of these have already passed and some haven't but non...
Global warming exists


Global Warming - rising in global tempertures We are NOT debating if it's man made. We ARE arguing if it exists. I argue it's happening, my opponent argues global tempertures from the date ~1900 - present has not been on a warming trend. BoP on my opponent, no negotiating here. 1st round acceptance by con, no semantics or trolling. Go!...
Anthropogenic, catastrophic, carbon dioxide based global warming is a hoax
My opponent will have to prove that global warming is existent, anthropogenic, carbon-caused, and catastrophic. I will attempt to debunk the claims of alarmists. My first argument states that the earth is not warming significantly. From J. Hansen's first testimony in 1988 to 2007, the earth has cooled by approximately .5 degrees. This is from a the UAH MSU monthly global temperatures. The University of Illinois Polar Research Group found that the Antarctic sea ice reached record levels in 2007--...
