developed countries have a moral obligation to mitigate the effects of climate change
Again, I must reiterate my desire to see Con's sources. C1: Citation, please. Secondly, regardless of what NASA thinks, 97% of climate scientists agree that humans are altering climate through carbon dioxide[1]. Nor does my argument rely on humans causing the increase in carbon dioxide; we can remove carbon dioxide from the air regardless of the source. C2: Firstly, this says 'developed countries' not 'USA'. Secondly, regardless of whether or not developed countries care, other countries will, and may (if they feel threatened enough) decide that they should enact sanctions on developed countries, or band together to attack them. Or present us with an embargo on their oil. Furthermore, global warming is predicted to cause: *negative effects in agriculture (wildfires, droughts) including to areas such as the Western United States and the Colorado River Basin *increased spread of mosquito born diseases (dengue fever, malaria) to places including the United States[2] *negative effects on ecotourism incomes as coral reefs die off (think Australia)[3] 1. http://www.skepticalscience.com... 2. http://www.nrdc.org... 3. http://www.skepticalscience.com...
