Ladies and gentlemen, esteem judges and fellow debators. We are the opposition house and our house’s name is PowerPuff Girls. Today’s motion is why this house doesn’t believe that climate change is the greatest threat to humanity. When referring to a “threat” to humanity, it implies a condition, event or a phenomenon that has the potential to cause harm, damage or significant negative impacts to human societies, economies or the environment. Threats can vary in nature and severity, ranging from immediate risks to long-term and chronic challenges. They may arise from natural phenomena, such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions or from human activities, such as warfare or environmental degradation.
In the context of climate change, the term “threat” encompasses the various adverse consequences associated with rising global temperatures and the changes in weather patterns, including extreme weather events, sea-level rise disruptions in agriculture and food security and impact on human health and well-being.
I, the first speaker will be dealing with the following arguments pertaining:
Existing threats to humanity.
Uncertainties regarding the exact extent and timing of climate change.
Opportunity costs of addressing climate change.
Firstly climate change is undeniably a significant threat it’s not necessarily considered the greatest for several reasons. The are other existing threats to humanity such as nuclear war or pandemics. They could have more immediate and catastrophic consequences even though they helped us as humans realise many things and brought up many debates. They impacted our lives in various aspects for example the pandemic, it caused illness death and disruption in economies and societies.
