Answer:
Yo I’m sending from gdocs debating speech
Step-by-step explanation:
Good morning chairperson, opposition and audience.
The topic for today’s debate is: Is Climate Change real?We, the For team, believe that the answer for this question is that Climate Change is real.We are in the midst of a Climate Change emergency; our planet and the existence of our very species are being threatened like never before. We must act before it is too late - before it is too late to reverse the damage that has already been done. I stand before you today because the time to act is now. We cannot possibly wait a single second longer. We cannot wait any longer because, if we do, we will have missed the last opportunity that we have been given to save our species. This is a call to every single man, woman and child, in every single country on this precious planet, to change their lifestyles and help to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions before we experience the devastating effects of Climate Change.We define the topic ‘Climate Change’ as a change in global or regional climate patterns, in particular a change apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards and attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels. Our belief is that Climate change does exist and its reason for existence is because human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels (like coal, oil and gas), which produces heat-trapping gases. This is evident as certain scientific government agencies, such as NASA, define Climate Change as an emergency caused by humans. Human activity has caused Climate Change since the Industrial Revolution in the late 1700’s as many industries are powered by the use of fossil fuels. We know this because statistics showing the difference of human fossil fuel usage from before the Industrial Revolution to the present day show that as the global climate has gradually become warmer, the use of burning fossil fuels has become increasingly higher. In a sense, we are literally cooking ourselves into extinction of the human species by burning too many fossil fuels. If we burn fossil fuels and create excessive carbon dioxide for our own gain, who is going to use this when humans are also creating deforestation problems, making excessive carbon dioxide a huge issue, and when we are also burning ourselves to extinction?In addition to this, taking journeys on electric buses and trains is far more planet-friendly than driving in petrol-fuelled cars or using planes. This means that in order to save our planet and save our species from extinction, we must use more public transport and travel less to other countries. Whilst this may seem unfair - especially for those younger generations who are yet to experience other cultures on the scale experienced by elder generations; it is absolutely essential if we are to reduce our Greenhouse Gas emissions and keep the planet at a temperature which is able to sustain our species. Another modern day comfort, air conditioning, is something which will have to be limited if we are to attempt to save our planet. We lived without comfort cooling for thousands of years, so shouldn’t we be able to live with limiting it now? Fluorinated gases used in air conditioning are the worst pollutants for our atmosphere - some lasting for centuries. Scrapping the air conditioning we already have would be doltish and would create unnecessary waste to go to a landfill, but where possible, we must try to limit our use of air conditioning when not needed; we should also try to not install cooling units where it is not absolutely necessary, like in mortuaries or server rooms for example. This is such a seemingly trivial thing that could make such a large difference to the prospects for our planet.In closing, I, as the speaker of the For team, hope that you can see how ridding ourselves of a few luxuries, like using more electric-based travel and limiting our air conditioning usage, can help reduce our Greenhouse Gas emissions on a tremendous scale, reduce the anthropologic damage to the planet and save our species from extinction. We are in the midst of a Climate Change emergency and the time to act is now. This is our last chance, our final opportunity - let’s not waste it!
