is urbanization solely responsible for pollution.....

I negate, that "[U]rbanization is solely responsible for pollution". Urbanization: to make or cause to become urban, as a locality. (dictionary.com) Urban: of, pertaining to, or designating a city or town. (dictionary.com) Solely Responsible: The only cause of (combination of dictionary.com definitions) Pollution: the introduction of harmful substances or products into the environment. (dictionary.com) Observation: Since "pollution" is unspecified, we will assume that it refers to pollution on a global scale. My opponent has the burden of proof of showing that Urbanization is the one and only cause of pollution, as it is the resolution he wrote and put forth as true. Even if I lose all of my arguments and refutations, if he has not proved the resolution true then you default CON because CON lacks such a burden. "i feel yes urbanization is responsible for the pollution...." 1) And I feel no. Who wins? 2) "feelings" in this context are irrelevant to truth. "of course wen it comes of land for increasing people in urban...one goes for deforestation nd contributes in contamination of air." 1) I can't really read what all of this says, so if I miss something I'll respond to it next round. 2) But from what I can figure out, I must disagree. If anything, urbanization SLOWS DOWN deforestation, as it attempts to put more stuff in a lesser amount of space. What causes the most deforestation is FARMING, which requires FLAT LAND - unlike in urban food production methods, which use processes such as Hydroponics. Basically, that argument works for me. 3) Yes, there is "contamination" of air inside big cities... but it's the same in the countryside. I'm pretty sure most of the tractors out there are still running on diesel. I'm also pretty sure that those tractors aren't getting 30+ MPG. Actually, it doesn't matter what their MPG is. They're polluting the air as well, destroying PRO's position that urbanization is the sole cause for pollution. "wen it comes of vehicles there is no escape to the deadly gasses nd the shouting horns." 1) Well, I just talked about an example where vehicles aren't in cities. Cross apply that here. 2) I'm assuming he means sound pollution when he talks about the horns. I'm pretty sure those horns can be used just as well out in the mountains, so it's still nonunique to urban areas. "all kind of pollution exist due to us." 1) Nontopical. We're talking about urbanization's link to pollution, not humanity's link to pollution. 2) Volcanoes throw up lots of stuff into the air. They're not caused by urbanization. 3) Stardust (or rather, remains of meteors) also puts bad stuff into the air. They're not caused by urbanization. "even if v c for agriculture poin if view urban farmers afford to use more nd more of the pesticides nd other chemicals which pollute the soil nd make the land unproductive." 1) I don't know what "v c" means, so if that becomes important I'll respond to it next round. 2) Urban farmers don't have to use pesticides and other chemicals. 3) Rural farmers can use pesticides and other chemicals. 4) Hydroponics doesn't use soil. "so in a way v ourself have created problem for us!" 1) Nontopical. 2) Not an argument. I await an argument from PRO that achieves his burden of proof.
