Help For Debate Against Global Warming...?

[Mackenzie S]

My friend and I have to do a debate in English class.
We drew our topics and positions (negative or affirmative) out of a hat.
We are arguing that global warming isn't happening.
Anything you can think of that could help up would be great.
Such as what they might say, and what we could say back.
Or some statistcs.
Or just anything.
Thanks in advance.

(I posted this yesterday, I'm just seeing if anyone else can help repond to it. Everyone has been a great help to us, and we really appreciate it.)

Its not happening, only uninformed alarmists think it is.


The earth goes through cycles, tempurature data has only been recorded int he last 100 years. The earth goes through 100 year cycles, and 10 year cycles.

These cycles are caused by the sun, solar flares are very common, in a 10 year cycle, every year they get hotter, This year is the last year for this current solar flare cycle. This is thoght to be the hottest cycle for the last 100 years. during the 100 year cycle, the 10 year cycles also get more intense.. the next 100 year cycle will be the opposite, solar flairs will continue in each 10 year cycle but every ten years it will start over less intense.

CO2 emissions from humans is a joke, one single large volcanic activity will emit more CO2 in one shot than humans will produce in 400 years. also there is no studies or solid evidence that shows how much CO2 blocks heat from leaving the planet at any rate. From what we can tell its not effecting the general tempurature at all, the skys are still blue and clear over 99.9% of the landscape.

The artic circle is in fact shrinking, yes, bt what people dont seem to add is that the antarctic circle is thinkening and increasing in size.. the Arctic circle is only 10% of the planets ice, the southern antarctic circle is 90% of the earths ice mass.

The head of the weather network also believes global warming cause by humans is a myth, pretty much every serious credible environmental scientist believe the same thing.

The basic facts: The sun is getting hotter (research solar flare activity) this is causing our hotter tempuratures, this phenom will reverse and the planet will get colder in the next century.

global warming has alot of political fuel, makes alot of people with agendas alot of money, defending global warming doesnt really benifit very many this is why the uninformed idea of global warming caused by humans is running rampent, and the public doesnt know any better.

Uh... you could.... hm....
You could argue that it isn't a pertinent issue at the moment and say things that are more so?

Also you could argue that "global warming" is just a scary name for something that happens naturally and has in the past.

God I thought I had it bad with the 'support war in vietnam' debate.
