    Geoengineering ideas can help scare world into climate action

    Samuel Thernstrom. "What Role for Geoengineering?" The American. March 2, 2010: "intuitively, it seems more likely that most people, when told about geoengineering, would be more inclined to support greater mitigation, not less, thinking: If such extreme measures are really being contemplated, surely we ought to more aggressively pursue other solutions."

    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.
