Global Poverty, Education, and hunger are greater issues than global warming/ climate change
I thank my opponent for this opportunity. I will be arguing against the statement that "Global Poverty, Education, and hunger are greater issues than global climate change." I will begin by defining my terms and clarifying my argument: Poverty: The state or condition of having little or no money, goods, or means of support; condition of being poor. Education: The act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and judgment, and generally of preparing oneself or others intellectually for mature life. Hunger :A compelling need or desire for food. Greater: Unusually or comparatively large in size or dimensions. Issue: A point in question or a matter that is in dispute, as between contending parties in an action at law. Climate change: A long-term change in the earth's climate, especially a change due to an increase in the average atmospheric temperature. All definitions were directly quoted from Dictionary.com: http://dictionary.reference.com... The context of all key terms and words should be understood otherwise I will further elaborate. When the instigator refers to the issue of education I am assuming that they are talking about the lack of free education in specific countries. Also, I assume that hunger is an Issue that is attached to poverty as a result. With that being said, I understand that lack of education and hunger are typically effects that are caused by poverty. I am arguing against this claim because I do not believe that it is true. I do believe that poverty is a serious issue. I do believe that every country should allow free education through the 12 grade. I also believe that hunger and death from malnutrition are Important issues. But, I argue that none of these three issues are as important as Climate change. Here's why: Poverty, and the issues surrounding it such as hunger and education effect a select few. Climate change effects every single person living on Earth and every single person who ever will live on Earth. That is my argument, I look forward to this debate.
