The U. S. adopting Cap and Trade will have a significant effect on climate.

>I would like to thank my opponent for starting this debate. >I will be supporting Obama Cap and Trade. >Cap and Trade is a fundamentally good idea. As my opponent notes, global temperature has been increasing recently. Cap and Trade would limit these effects by limiting the emissions causing this. To support my point, while global temperature has increased by a degree in one hundred years, ocean temperatures have risen one half a degree since the 1970s. Also, the process has accelerated slightly recently as the 8 warmest years in history have all been since 1998. >The Obama Cap and Trade is very vague, but the general concepts would be beneficial to the Earth and to the rising temperatures. >There is not much more I can say at the moment, I await my opponent's arguments.
