Global warming

Environmentalists picked the wrong 'poster child' for Global Warming.

I affirm the above resolution. --------------- Definitions: Environmentalists- a person concerned with the protection and preservation of the natural environment http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Environmentalists poster child- I am referring to the polar bear Global Warming- an increase in the overall temperature worldwide believed to be caused by the greenhouse effect http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Global+warming wrong- Not fitting or suitable http://www.thefreedictionary.com/wrong...

we needn't make big changes in our life style to stop global warming

I believe that the public doesn't have to make big changes in lifestyle to stop global warming. These include turning the thermostat down below 72 degrees, paying a lot more money for electric cars, and paying a lot more money for electricity. In this debate, I will be arguing that either a) humans are not responsible for global warming or b) there are other ways to prevent global warming that do not interfere with our lifestyles. I would like to inform my opponent that I do think that we should...

Global warming doesn't exist

Thank you for accepting this challenge, I would just like to say that I do not intend on bashing your beliefs for any reason, but I believe that global warming does not exist. in fact, there are many scientists who do not believe in global warming, 31,000 American scientists to be more accurate, so trying to say you have science on the side of global warming is clearly not as convincing as many people think. Al Gore, who is obviously a global warming fan, exagerratd the truth and lied 18 times i...

Global Warming; real or not?

I maintain that Global Warming is not brought about by man, and cannot be reversed by man. The statistics are grossly inflated by the fact that they are predictions made by computers and not historical facts. Computers today are nowhere nearly accurate enough to predict the future climate change, and many people seem to be ignoring the fact that our world is still emerging from an ice age. ?...

Man made global warming is a myth.

I would like to invite someone to prove how man is at the cause of global warming. I agree that global warming exists, but not that it is a result of mans actions here on earth. I believe that global warming is a part of a natural cycle of cooling and warming that the earth constantly goes through.. I'm not very interested in links, though you can use them. Anyone can show a link and a counter link. The only time I recommend links is when you are including something that you think is a fact such...

Electric cars should be a priority in plans to fight global warming

The debate will go in the following order: Round one: Intro Round two: main round/ Case Round three: CX Round four: conclusion. My opponent will answer the following questions as well as use these questions as a base for his contentions: Are electric cars helpful in fighting global warming? Are electric cars economical? Are electric cars compatible with electric grids? Are electric cars reliable? Thank you....

Global Warming is man-made

Anthropogenic Global Warming Is Real

First off, I want to thank Con for offering to take up this debate. This resolution is based on a discussion that originated in the comment section of another debate: http://www.debate.org/debate/13812/ == Definitions == Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW): Global Warming influenced by human activities. Real: Being or occurring in fact or actuality. == Rules == Pro and Con will both refrain from attacking the sources of scientific information in order to keep this debate focused...

Global Warming exists and mankind is responsible for it.

I hope there are takers, I've seen some members that do not believe in the global warming theory so I'd like to make it clear. 1)Global Warming exists. If you are not ok with that statement please say so. 2)Humans are the ones responsible for it. There is plenty of evidence that shows humans emit large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. There hasn't been so much greenhouse gas carbon dioxide in the atmosphere sine 650,000 years ago. 3) Many find it natural that the earth will cool ba...
