Actually, no, it should'nt.
Without global warming, we wouldn't be here. Ice would still be covering the planet. It's as simple as that. Prove me wrong.
I am going to argue the case that global warming has disastrous effects on current society and its people. IT was beneficial at once, but it is no longer good. I would like to show you all of the things we would be without if global warming was not solved: Say Goodbye to French Wines Say Goodbye to Light and Dry Wines Say Goodbye to Pinot Noir Say Goodbye to Baseball Bats Say Goodbye to the Beautiful Alaska Vacation Say Goodbye to Fly Fishing Say Goodbye to Ski Vacations Say Hello to Really Tacky Fake Ski Vacations Say Goodbye to Ski Competitions Say Goodbye to That Snorkeling Vacation Say Goodbye to Your Pretty Lawn Say Goodbye to Mixed Nuts, French fries, guacamole and cod. These are all the things we would be without if global warming wasnt solved. Plants would die, the environment would collapse, and no, global warming is not a myth. Information from: http://www.americanprogress.org... Thank you and I await your rebuttal. |

"Say Goodbye to French Wines
Say Goodbye to Light and Dry Wines Say Goodbye to..." All those things that you list are material possessions, and are, as such, not as important as other things, like purity and friendship and etc. Global warming is a natural process and should be helped and sped up. In fact, humans are already adapting to such things. For example, me and a few of my relatives have two toes on each foot that are webbed. This may be overlooked and classified as unimportant, or it may be the evidence we need to prove that humans are adapting and preparing for the effects of global warming. "Plants would die," Plants die no matter what, and not all plants would perish anyways. "the environment would collapse," And a new environment would take it's place. The circle of life, my friend, is taking place. "and no, global warming is not a myth." I don't believe it is, and this debate is not about weather global warming is a myth or not.
First of all, it is a proven fact that material possesions are quite important to the human people. They love their computers, televisions ad fine frech wines. It is human nature. you said "Global warming is a natural process and should be helped and sped up. In fact, humans are already adapting to such things. For example, me and a few of my relatives have two toes on each foot that are webbed. This may be overlooked and classified as unimportant, or it may be the evidence we need to prove that humans are adapting and preparing for the effects of global warming." I dont think that webbed feet are normal in humans, for if it were it would be in the news more frequently and it would not be consider4ed abnormal. It is predicted that the ice sheets are supposed to change and golbal warming will happen 1.5 feet over the next thousand years, in a time where neither of us will be alive. In conclusion, global warming needs to be stopped in out lifetime so that it doesnt transfer the responsibility to our younger generations. Thank you and I await your rebuttal. |

"I dont think that webbed feet are normal in humans"
Webbed feet are not normal in humans... Yet... "It is predicted that the ice sheets are supposed to change" We know that... "golbal warming will happen 1.5 feet over the next thousand years," That makes no sense... Let's pull up the full quote, shall we? "It is predicted that the ice sheets are supposed to change and golbal warming will happen 1.5 feet over the next thousand years, in a time where neither of us will be alive." Okay, how could "golbal warming" happen 1.5 feet over the next thousand years? I think what you were trying to say was: "It is predicted global warming will change the ice sheets by shrinking them 1.5 feet over the next thousand years." And of course, that really doesn't matter anyway. 1.5 feet isn't bad, and once again, humans are adapting! Okay, let me expand on my idea that humans are adapting: Humans are animals, animals adapt and evolve on their own, mostly without the evolving animal knowing it. "global warming needs to be stopped in out lifetime so that it doesnt transfer the responsibility to our younger generations." First of all, we will figure out a way to fight it, or at least temporarily stop it's effects, we're that smart. Secondly, like I've stated before, humans are adapting and evolving, and they've never stopped. Global warming is just one more thing to adapt to. Prove me wrong...
As I truly do not have enough time over the next two days to fully refute, I will refute your short summary. "Secondly, like I've stated before, humans are adapting and evolving, and they've never stopped. Global warming is just one more thing to adapt to." Now, when is the last time that humans have undergone a major physical change? We have been the same physical form since we transferred from apes to humans. we will not be adapting to any new physical changes. I direct your attention to Web MD, under Apert Syndrome: General Discussion Apert syndrome, also known as acrocephalosyndactyly type I (ACS1), is a rare genetic disorder that is apparent at birth (congenital). The disorder is character-ized by distinctive malformations of the head that lead to distinctive facial features. In addition, the hands and/or feet may be webbed (syndactyly) and in some cases, mental retardation may also be present. Now, you may have a birth defect (to put it nicely). There are other reasons too: Smoking, Finger Birth Defects Linked Pregnant Smokers May Be More Likely to Have Babies With Abnormal Fingers and Toes By Miranda Hitti WebMD Medical NewsReviewed by Louise Chang, MDJan. 11, 2006 -- Women have one more reason not to smoke during pregnancy. Smoking during pregnancy may boost a woman's chances of having a baby with abnormal fingers and toes. Those problems include webbed feet, extra toes or fingers, and missing toes or fingers. This is also abnormal.
