ManBearPig is real.
Round three rebuttals Fact 0: The Ozone hole still exists. " Overall, the 2014 ozone hole is smaller than the large holes of the 1998–2006 period, and is comparable to 2010, 2012, and 2013." [8] Graph of ozone hole. [9] Myth: There is no ozone hole. Fallacy: Jumping to conclusions. There is little to no evidence to support that the ozone hole does not exist. Fact 1: Global warming has continued to warm the planet since the 1970s. My graph in the previous round show the temperature increase. [6] Myth: Global warming stopped in 1997-1998. Fallacy: Cherry picking. By looking at high temperatures in 1998 you can come to the conclusion that global warming is not happening. Yet, the overall trend is warming, and several years have surpassed 1998 since. Fact 2: There is enough historical data. In the past Co2 has been strongly correlated with temperature. Myth: There is not enough historical data. Fallacy: Impossible expectations, there is ample evidence, deniers are demanding even more evidence. Global warming is extremely likely to exist, caused by man, and the main driver is burning of fossil fuels that release Co2. Fact 3: A scientific consensus exists. Myth: 31,000 scientists petition disproves the consensus. Fallacy: Fake experts, only a very small portion of the 31,000 are climate scientists. As seen in the previous round as expertise increases, so does agreement. [2] Fact 4: Overall large bodies of ice are losing mass. Myth: Sea ice in Antarctica is increasing therefore warming does not exist. Fallacy: Cherry picking, although sea ice is increasing for certain bodies of ice, the overall trend is loss of ice. You can see this in the previous round. [6] Fact 5: Even if all climate models were proven wrong, they would still be useful. Climate models are better at predicting long term trends than short term. Some of the climate models have made incredibly accurate predictions about long term trends. [10] Myth: Climate models are unreliable and thus useless Fallacy: Jumping to conclusions. Despite, climate models being flawed, they are still useful. Fact 6: Human finger prints rule out natural causes. Myth 6: Climate change is part of a natural cycle. Fallacy: Jumping to conclusions. Fact 7: Some early predictions were proven correct and some incorrect. Myth: Early predictions were wrong therefore global warming is disproved. Fallacy: Cherry picking. The overall trend of warming and Co2 increase has been proven correct. By focusing only on the incorrect predictions, deniers can create the illusion of more errors than reality. Thank you for the debate, and not just forfeiting like so many other debaters. Sources. 8. https://science.nasa.gov... 9. https://www.skepticalscience.com... 10. https://skepticalscience.com...
