Moira Woodrow: Read IPCC report, but also read :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scientists_op...
Perry Deshazior: The best way to truly win a debate are to ask the right questions."What caused the earth to leave it's relatively recent ice age?""Why were people afraid of global cooling in the 1970's? -- the same people who are now talking about global warming? How many times should we believe them?""2005 was a particularly bad hurricane season. That year, the people who are most worried about global warming were telling us how awful subsequent hurricane seasons would be. Why should we still believe them when their predictions were so incredibly wrong? 2006, after all, had only one named storm make landfall in the US, and no hurricanes."Print this out, and ask if it shows that the earth (or at least our part of it is demonstrating "warming:"http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/img/climate/research/2008...That should get you started....Show more
Krystal Cordovano: Just ! use the fact that you're debating "Global Warming" as proof that "Global Warming" is a political argument, not a scientific one.After all, how many debates have you had over Newton's Laws of Gravity, or Ohm's Law, or the Speed of Light? Never, as science is never debated - It only is.
Cordia Fivecoat: That will be super easy to debate. because it's not a philosophical issue. It's a scientific issue, so you don't have to debate anything. The scientific community has already done that for you. Just say this, "I don't have a Ph.D. in ecology and neither to any of you, so to discuss the science behind global warming would be a waste of everyones time, so let's just take the word of all the people who DO know what they're talking about and hope for the best" In case your wondering what the people who DO know what they're talking about have to say about it see the link below. It's the worlds largest scientific community, AAAS, and they say that we need to take immedia! te action to stop global warming. Why listen to, or discuss i! t with people who know nothing?...Show more
Alexandria Popik: I did not believe in global warming until I saw melting snow where I had never heard of it melting before.I am still not convinced it is a purely man made phenomenonhttp://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/12/ph...
Jorge Detlefs: Oh, i know the best site for that. Really all you need to know about global warming and how it is man made and how it is a problemwww.google.comBut really, look here, i am a policy debater and the current high school resolution is : The USFG should substantially increase alternative energy incentives in the united states, so i have a sh#$load of stuff on global warming. Here are just 2 of the many credible sites talking about the bad effects global warming:http://envirement.newscientist.com/article/dn12146http://nrdc.org/globalWarming/f101.asp...Show more
