R2 rebuttals "I would like to thank my opponent for the opportunity to be able to debate this fascinating topic. I have only debates on this subject before in a debate talking about the 97% statistic, and for the sake of time, I will leave a link to that to explain why the 97% statistic is untrue." YatesUni Agreed. I've read the rest of my opponent's argument and I see nothing to significantly impact the resolution and thus ignore the claims, except this claim. "Basically, science says that the warming trend is natural and expected" opponent No, this claim is blatantly wrong. Co2 levels are way above what we would expect if man was not involved. Overpopulation, deforestation, over fishing of the oceans, destruction of marine habitat, and destruction of the rain-forest [1], are all major contributing factors. Use your common sense, we cannot destroy the environment at this rate and expect no consequences. Hurricanes are forming in places they haven't formed for at least one hundred years. The places that usually have hurricanes have more intense hurricanes. Remember hurricane Katrina?

People in the middle east died in summer of 2015 due to unprecedented heat waves. We are in the middle of a mass extinction. Global climate change is real and a threat. Thanks for the debate.
