Climate change refers to the long-term alteration of the Earth's climate, particularly

due to human activities that release large amounts of greenhouse gases into the
atmosphere. The most significant greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide, which is released
from burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas, as well as from deforestation
and other land-use changes.

As greenhouse gases accumulate in the atmosphere, they trap heat from the sun and
cause the Earth's temperature to rise. This results in a wide range of impacts on the
environment, including rising sea levels, more frequent and severe heatwaves,
droughts, floods, and storms, and changes to ecosystems and wildlife.

Scientists around the world have been studying climate change for many years, and
there is a broad scientific consensus that it is happening and that it is primarily
caused by human activities. Many governments, organizations, and individuals are
taking action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the impacts of
climate change.

It is important to address climate change and work towards reducing greenhouse gas
emissions to protect the planet and ensure a sustainable future for ourselves and
future generations.

Certainly! Here are some scientific facts about climate change:

1. The Earth's average surface temperature has risen by about 1.1°C since the
pre-industrial era, and much of this warming has occurred in the past few
decades.
2. Human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, are the primary cause
of the increased concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which
trap heat and contribute to global warming.
3. Climate change is causing more frequent and severe weather events, such as
heatwaves, droughts, hurricanes, and floods, as well as rising sea levels,
melting glaciers and sea ice, and ocean acidification.
4. Climate change is affecting biodiversity, with many species struggling to adapt
to rapidly changing conditions, and some already going extinct.
5. The impacts of climate change are disproportionately felt by marginalized and
vulnerable communities, including low-income communities, indigenous
peoples, and people living in small island developing states.
6. There is scientific consensus that urgent and significant action is needed to
mitigate the worst impacts of climate change and avoid catastrophic
consequences, such as runaway global warming and irreversible damage to
ecosystems and societies.
These are just a few examples of the scientific facts surrounding climate change. The
scientific community has been studying climate change for decades, and there is a
vast body of evidence supporting the reality of this phenomenon and its impacts on
the planet and human societies.

Proposition (For the motion): Climate change is not real

First Speaker (Proposition): Climate change is not a real phenomenon. While there
may be some natural fluctuations in the Earth's climate, these fluctuations are not the
result of human activity, but rather are a natural process that has been occurring for
millions of years. The idea that humans are causing climate change is based on
flawed data and models, and there is no conclusive evidence to support the claim
that the Earth's climate is changing due to human activity.

First Speaker (Opposition): Climate change is a real and urgent threat to the planet,
with overwhelming scientific evidence supporting the reality of human-caused
climate change. The Earth's temperature has been increasing rapidly over the past
century, and this warming trend is directly linked to the increased levels of
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which are primarily caused by human activities
such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation.

Second Speaker (Proposition): In fact, the data used to support the idea of climate
change is highly uncertain and often manipulated to support a preconceived agenda.
Many of the so-called "climate scientists" who claim that the Earth is warming due to
human activity are actually motivated by political and financial interests, rather than a
genuine concern for the environment. Climate models are notoriously inaccurate and
have failed to accurately predict future climate trends.

Second Speaker (Opposition): The impacts of climate change are already being felt
around the world, with rising sea levels, more frequent and severe heatwaves,
droughts, floods, and storms, and changes to ecosystems and wildlife. These impacts
pose a significant risk to human health, the global economy, and the environment.
Without urgent action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the impacts
of climate change, the future of our planet and humanity is at risk.

Third Speaker (Proposition): In summary, the idea of human-caused climate change is


a myth that is being perpetuated by those with a vested interest in promoting an
environmental agenda. While it is important to be responsible stewards of the
environment, we should not allow ourselves to be misled by flawed data and
politically-motivated scientists. We should focus on real environmental issues, such as
pollution and deforestation, rather than wasting time and resources on a non-existent
problem.

Third Speaker (Opposition): In summary, climate change is real and requires


immediate action from individuals, organizations, and governments around the
world. Denying the reality of climate change ignores the overwhelming scientific
evidence and risks the future of our planet and humanity. We must acknowledge and
address the reality of climate change, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and work
towards a sustainable future for ourselves and future generations.

In conclusion, the overwhelming scientific evidence supports the reality and urgency
of climate change, and the need for immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions and mitigate its impacts on the planet and humanity. Denying the reality of
climate change would not only fail to address the problem but also worsen its
impacts, posing a significant risk to our future. It is crucial that we take collective
action towards a sustainable future for ourselves and future generations.
