The Flying Spaghetti Monster is causing Global Warming

Accepted. Opening Argument: 'Most climate scientists agree the main cause of the current global warming trend is human expansion of the 'greenhouse effect'--warming that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth toward space.''Certain gases in the atmosphere block heat from escaping. Long-lived gases that remain semi-permanently in the atmosphere and do not respond physically or chemically to changes in temperature are described as 'forcing' climate change. Gases, such as water vapor, which respond physically or chemically to changes in temperature are seen as 'feedbacks.'The gasses that contribute to this are: •Water Vapor (H2O)•Nitrous Oxide (N2O)•Methane (CH4)•Carbon Dioxide (CO2)[.1.] https://climate.nasa.gov...'The atmospheric concentration of CO2 has increased dramatically, from a pre-industrial era (AD 1000 – 1750) concentration of approximately 280 parts per million (ppm) to today's 400 ppm.'So, it's pretty obvious (particularly through the overuse of carbon dioxide) that humans have considerable responsibility to bare for global warming.

Another contention I will add is that pirates commit crime; so Pro is essentially arguing that more crime be committed. The infamous pirate, Ned Lowe (1600's-1700's) provides an example of how violent pirates have historically been: 'An English criminal who took to sea, Ned Lowe was not the most successful pirate in his day (though he did well enough), but was perhaps the most feared due to his excessive cruelty and love of torture. This did not extend only to his enemies; he was reported to have set fire to an unwanted ship, with the cook on board, for amusement, saying that the cook was a greasy fellow'. He was, however, most famous for his treatment of enemy captains. He once cut an enemy’s lips off because he threw treasure into the sea. Lowe then proceeded to cook, and make him eat his lips before massacring the entire crew. Cruel, but seemingly effective.'Modern pirates, are not that much better. [3.] http://tvtropes.org...While there isn't any evidence to suggest that pirates help our planet (As Pro is arguing), there is in fact evidence to show that they damage it: 'According to experts, one of the most serious dangers associated with modern piracy is the risk of an environmental disaster. When pirates capture merchant ships, they often tie up the crew and leave the ship unmanned—and possibly still moving at full speed. Some fear that if a ship were captured and left unmanned in a narrower channel such as a strait, there is a high probability that it could crash, with the contents of the ship (often oil) being spilled into the ocean. Such a disaster nearly occurred in 1999, when the French tanker Chaumont was ambushed by pirates in the Strait of Malacca (between Malaysia and Indonesia.'

And in the U.S, it costs to become ill.

Actually, the religion (Pastafarianism) that worships the Flying Spagetti Monster has been deemed 'not real', thus meaning that even in the doctrinal sense it is considered illegitimate.
