Global Warming is Entirely Caused By Humans
My argument is that, while global warming may have been intensified by human influence (CO2 emissions, methane emissions, etc.), it is also a product of the Earth itself and this should be considered when reporting on the drastic effects of global warming. The ice caps will melt and water levels will rise. These are leftovers from the most recent ice age, the Quaternary glaciation (1), and should be expected to melt as we move toward the Holocene epoch (2). Rainforests and deserts will change, b...
Global warming
Everyday millions of BTUs of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere. Because of these greenhouse gases, global warming is occurring. Global warming is the theory that the earth is getting hotter due to greenhouse gases, the ice caps in Antarctica are melting rapidly, tornadoes and hurricanes are getting stronger IE Katrina. Temperatures across the globe will rise and droughts will occur. Global warming is occurring due to various human activity, such as using oil in cars, factories,...
Global Warming is a phenomenon that is happenening right now.
Before I begin this debate, I would like to thank my opponent for accepting this challenge and I would like to thank everyone who will eventually vote in this debate. Also, I would like to ask everyone who will vote to vote based upon who made the better argument, and rebutted their opponent's arguments better. Please do not vote in this debate based upon your own opinions and beliefs. Thank you. Now to the debate: Global warming is a true phenomenon recognized by experts all around the...
Global Warming Exists
I'll define some words to avoid semantics. Global warming: The rise in the average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans since the late 19th century and its projected continuation. [1] Greenhouse gas: A gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal infrared range.[2] This is my actual argument: "However, since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the burning of fossil fuels has contributed to the increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from...
Anthropogenic Global Warming
Anthropogenic Global Warming is enough of a threat to take action against it. I am not certain if it is real; neither side it. But, what I do know is that if we do not take action against it as soon as possible, and it turns out to be real; we will face irreversible side-effects. I will now explain my basic and SIMPLIFIED arguments. I will expand on them as the debate advances. Green House Gases control the global temperatures. This is what keeps us stable; unlike how it is on the moon. We...

BUILDING UNDERWATER CIVILIZATIONS WOULD NEGATE THE EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING ON THE HUMAN POPULATION
THIS IS COMMON SENSE! IF WE HAD UNDERWATER CIVILIZATIONS THAT COULD SUSTAIN THE EFFECTS OF THE PRESSURE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA, WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING BEING A PROBLEM TO US AS THE SEA LEVEL RISING WOULD HAVE NO CRUCIAL IMPACT ON PEOPLE WHO LIVED UNDERWATER. WE COULD HAVE OUR DOMICILES IN UNDERWATER DOMES. FURTHERMORE, SINCE 75% IF THE PLANET IS MADE UP OF WATER, THAT WOULD JUST BE MORE SPACE FOR US AND OVERPOPULATION WOULD BE SOMEWHAT NULLIFIED FOR A WHILE. THIS IS A...
Human induced global warming exists
Resolution: Human Induced Global Warming Exists I will be arguing that the resolution is true and refute my opponent's claims, while my opponent will argue that it is false and also refute my claims. BOP is shared. No new arguments, only rebuttals in round 5. Carbon Dioxide a. Correlation to temperature CO2 is increasing. In fact, the level of it in our atmosphere now is higher than any point in the past 800 thousand years. [1] Temperature records show that the temperature is increa...
global warming is cause by humans
Scientists have concluded that most of the observed warming is very likely due to the burning of coal, oil, and gas. This conclusion is based on a detailed understanding of the atmospheric greenhouse effect and how human activities have been tweaking it. At the same time, other reasonable explanations, most notably changes in the Sun, have been ruled out. The atmospheric greenhouse effect naturally keeps our planet warm enough to be livable. Sunlight passes through the atmosphere. Light-color...
The sun is the main cause of global warming
No semantics or trolling, this is to be a honest debate with serious attitudes. I would usually argue pro, but I am devils advocating. I argue the sun is not the main reason for current climate change, my opponent argues the sun is the main reason for current climate change. Current global warming is from the last century, though data from before then is welcomed as evidence as long as it relates to the now. 1st round acceptance. good luck!...
