Will Malson GW Kritikal 1AC Page 1 of 5 Introduction One of the most unfortunate catastrophes of the late 20th and of the 2 1st century so far has been the remarkable rejection of scientific fact. The most notorious of these is the great fallacy of human-caused climate change. Governmental policy aside, the most atrocious aspect of this issue is that people are actively indoctrinating others into the faulty view that humans are the cause of global warming and that global warming will result in the extinction of the species. It is to escape from these logical entrapments that we stand Resolved: That the USFG should significantly reform its environmental policy. Moreover, we stand resolved: that the p ublic should significantly reform their views and discourse concerning global warming. It is our opinion that the public's discourse of global warming is not only scientifically inaccurate, but is inherently dangerous as well. This begs the criterion for the round – what should you judge the round based on? As the public’s perspective on climate change is the issue, so should be the measuring stick: at the end of the round, you should vote for the team that provides the most enlightened discourse surrounding climate change –essentially, the team that has the most real-world impact, as opposed to a hypothetical policy change. The leads us to propose the following changes to your, or the public’s, view on climate change in: Section 1: Reformation. 1. First, the fallacy of human-caused global warming must be recognized for what it is – a fallacy. 2. Second, the assumption that global warming is a dangerous phenomenon must not only be rejected, but shown how it is completely unfounded. 3. Third and finally, we must prepare ourselves for the future – a reform in our discourse is not only prudent, but necessary – we must acknowledge the impending discursive “battle” against the spread ofpropaganda from not only policymakers but also scientists.
