Description

Politicians fabricated Global Warming to sell us electric cars, thereby allowing them to tax us so we have to pay more for their expensive policies.
I have studied this subject more now, so I can debunk anyone claiming Global Warming is real.

...

Fundamentally, I shall prove with logic and facts that Global Warming is a myth. Something set up by the government to steal your tax dollars.

Rules:
1. One forfeit is the loss of a conduct point.

Definitions:

Global Warming - The long-term warming of the planet's overall temperature.

Climate Change - A long-term change in the average weather patterns that have come to define Earth's local, regional and global climates.

Hoax - A humorous or malicious deception.

BOP:

The resolution states "Global Warming is a hoax," so Pro should win if they can show that it is an elaborate joke. Conversely, I should win if I give evidence for the existence of Global Warming.

Proof: Currently, there is evidence of an accumulation of green-house gases trapping the sunlight's radiation and heat in the atmosphere, causing the temperature to increase significantly.

This phenomenon is observed by the rapid melting of the ice glaciers, causing rises in the sea levels.
The heat of the waters rising to such a point that it is exterminating sea life.
The water vapor caused by the previous two is getting trapped in the sky and is another major greenhouse gas contributing to this rise in temperature.

As greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane increase, Earth’s temperature rises in response. This increases evaporation from both water and land areas. Because warmer air holds more moisture, its concentration of water vapor increases.

Earth’s global average surface temperature in 2020 statistically tied with 2016 as the hottest year on record, continuing a long-term warming trend due to human activities.
