Is Human Activity an addition to increased Global Warming/Climate Change

Seeing that you have a rich source of information I can easily rebut the case. To address you examples that humans are different than dinosaurs. Not to mention the fact that during the dinosaurs time there was just 1 continent. So to end this debate my case has won because I have easily shown that humans harmful activity have increased Global Warming, you're entire case is built upon the facts that if the dinosaurs lived through it we can. Well that was a 165 million years ago buddy, Earth has changed. For these reasons this is why Pro has won this debate.

Reserved for FollowerofChrist: Climate change is real and a massive threat to humanity.

Maurice You still haven't proved that he's a criminal, and all I have is that he slapped his name on a few things. Not the first instigator, not by a long shot. And even if he was a criminal, it doesn't disprove the science. Isaac Newton had people killed(he was in charge of killing counterfeiters), should we discredit all of his findings? This is nothing but an ad hominem. 2. Mauna Loa This point, apart from being extremely childish, is basically appeal to the stone. Also, see: https://skepticalscience.com...; 3. Sea levels. This is appeal to authority to the max, and you didn't even back up the authority that you gave him. And you still have clearly not even clicked on my sources. (#4 doesn't exist for some reason) 5. Appeal to authority. Jesus christ, I shouldn't have to link this to explain, but here you go: https://en.wikipedia.org...; Nota bene: when your argument begins with "Drrrrr????" and ends with "lol," you should probably rethink it. Aaaand then it's topped off with a juicy false equivalency. NOAA and IPCC are groups, do have peer review, and use the scientific process. Individuals are not subject to this. CONCLUSION I strongly urge a vote for affirmative(pro), as my opponent has not provided any real evidence, nor countered my own points, his arguments devolving into personal attacks, proof by assertion, and childish rhetoric.

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

As Con, I will wait until my opponent puts out his or her contentions until I actually debate. A significant effect is considered to be a global differrence in atleast a quarter of a degree in fifty years, which is very merciful considering that some statistics say that the global average tempertaure has increased about a degree over the last hundred years. The Cap and Trade system is the system that will be employed under both major presidential candidates' administrations. I will let my opponent pick a plan to be specifically debated. McCain's Cap and Trade: http://www.johnmccain.com... Obama's Cap and Trade: http://my.barackobama.com... Unfortunately, neither candidates go into much detail, especially Barack Obama. As we go into further detail, we will quote their debates as to their actual plans. I look forward to the prospect of this debate.

CMV: There is no legal way to bring real change in the USA.

>c*orruption-* sorry- **lobbyism** People really overestimate how much lobbying is done and also assume that all lobbying is even bad. Would you say people that lobby for BLM are also perpetuate corruption in the system? >A good example is Obama-care which was the idea of free healthcare for everyone, but now isn't free That wasn't the general idea behind obama care.The idea was to cover some people not to be a univeral free healthcare. The only reason people are even currently talking about a universal health care is because of Obama care, it showed people that it's possible to make it a reality in the US. >so that there isn't a discussion about things like minimum wage, healthcare, prisons, police etc. I mean those discussions are literally happening and we have recordings of them, and policies are made from those discussion that are a compromise between what both parties want. People are just to lazy to follow those discussions and rather read twitter headlines / reddit headlines for their news. This remindes me of the [scroll of truth](https://www.google.com/search?q=scroll+of+truth&client=firefox-b-d&sxsrf=ALeKk00nlH7UFp1E8RiOQ-GZ0VMtoREZCg:1611867686919&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjxhZ2Hw7_uAhWTPewKHQpjBf0Q_AUoAXoECBAQAw&biw=1680&bih=936#imgrc=wPc1v4HYmJ_tDM) meme where people just throws away the truth for their own believe because the truth does not fit with their narrative. &#x200B; Politics especially on federal level is all about incremental changes that have a end goal which will be achieved in decades, not about changes that will happen tomorrow.

DDO should change the "global warming exists" big issue to "Man-made global warming exists"

Violatations My opponent claims that I plagerised, but this is false, because that is a debate card and it is cut like a debate card, so you can through that arguement out the window. I'll now show how I didn't drop any arguements and how/ why I won today's debate. 1. GW Exists page My opponent states that I didn't attack any arguements here, but what I stated is why we have it the way it is in the first place, because of Global Cooling! Then it begins in 2000 with Al Gore campaigning, leading to does it exist. My oponent just says I dropped arguements, but I refuted the whole contention. 2. Change My opponent states that I didn't bring up how it was so long (note- I couldn't find the link for this), but if you read round two you see how it works and those of you who were here this summer know what I'm talking about. 3. Religon and better things My opponent dropps this contention so you can extend across my arguements here. (this was if GW gets replaced then other things should take it's place, arguement). In conclusion, you can see that my opponent didn't really touch up on my arguements and also falsly accused me of plagerism.

I'm pretty sure this entire conversation I have reinforced the idea that he is the Front Runner right now and is the most likely currently to win the primary. I just said the idea that if by chance he doesn't win the primary, You won't vote in the general is a really stupid and selfish idea move and that I unironically would consider you nearly as bad as a Trump supporter at that point.

its Bernie or bust, We are suck of moderates, WE WANT REAL CHANGE

That election was incredibly close, Hillary won the popular vote, And that was with many Bernie fans still choosing to vote for her, Without that support for whoever the democratic nominee is, We are all but giving the election to Trump, And that would be on your hands. 2. If you wanna support Bernie, No one is stopping you, He's currently the democratic front runner, It's just that the idea of only voting in the general if Bernie wins is unbelievably selfish because you are basically just letting all the people who would be demonstrably harmed by another Trump term take the bullet because you mad your guy didn't make it, That's partisanship at it's worst. 3. It's literally just harm reduction, It's fine to aim for getting your ideal candidate into office but you wanna do the best with what your given even if you can't get the ideal.
