Global warming exists.

*****FRAMEWORK*****First I will address my opponents arguments, before making my own.RULES:1. Forfeit means the loss of the debate2. Conduct should remain polite and respectful.3. Both debaters will put an an obvious effort into the debate such that it is both informative, and mentally stimulating.If the viewer feels any debater does not follow one of these Rules, please vote against them in the voting period.Without further ado, let us begin!***** MY OPPONENTS "CASE" *****"Signs that the Earth is warming are recorded all over the globe. The easiest way to see increasing temperatures is through the thermometer records kept over the past century and a half. Around the world, the Earth's average temperature has risen more than 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.8 degrees Celsius) over the last century, and about twice that in parts of the Arctic."Unfortunately without a source to back this statement up, this 'argument', is unfortunately more of a baseless claim. In order for statistics and numbers to be evaluated fluently, there must be the proper BOP source structure upheld. Otherwise, all a debate is, is a "Nuh UH!", "Uh HUH!" type of thing.Anyways according to the philosophical outlook on in it, you are basically saying that the earth is heating, and that this heat is a direct result of global warming.So essentially if I am able to prove both of those wrong, then technically, I have accomplished my goal in this debate, correct? "This doesn't mean that temperatures haven't fluctuated among regions of the globe or between seasons and times of day. But if you average out the temperature all over the world over the course of a year, you see that temperatures have been creeping upward."Again, same as above. My goal through out my case will to be to directly provide proof that what was said above is true. Again sources are extremely beneficial in the future, such that I can actually argue something. ***** MY CASE *****First off I would like to define Global Warming, as it's true meaning is pertinent to this debate. "Global warming is the rising average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans since the late 19th century and its projected continuation. "http://en.wikipedia.org...Given the definition, we must assume that global warming is a common theory that based on events from the 19th til now, global warming has been caused. So the definition definitely implies that the meaning is not historical in any way. This also implies that global warming is significant to our era, and that it has never happened before this, C1: The Earth is not experiencing Global warming. In an article P Gosselin, written in December 2011, we find some pretty good information about what global warming ACTUALLY is. We also get to take a look and see how it is really happening in our lives,The link can be found here:http://notrickszone.com... "warming because quite simply there has been no global warming to speak of for 10-15 years now based on the official climate data from the governments of the world [US /NCDC, ENVIRONMENT CANADA and THE EUROPEAN ENVIRONMENTAL AGENCY. Recently US meteorologist Anthony Watts showed that the continental U.S. has not warmed in the last 10 years, and in fact has grown cooler in the summer and colder in the winter. The climate data numbers come from the National Climatic Data Center." Here the article specifically states that based on polls numbers and statistics taken by government environmentalist teams throughout the country, that the Globe is actually not warming at all!It goes on to say the following:"Not only have the US temperatures been flat for the last 10-15 years, but a similar pattern is happening in Canada. The Canadian national annual, summer and winter temperature departures from the 1961-1990 averages have been flat for 10-14 years when measured on Excel linear trend and based on Environment Canada’s own data. Comparing today’s winter temperature departure with that of the period 1961-1990 can be misleading since the 1961-1990 period was low or cool phase of the planet's 60 year cycle and any comparison will always show warming not due to man generated global warming, but due to natural and regular changes (30 years of cooler weather followed by 30 years of warmer weather) in the planets climate pattern. It is like comparing summer temperatures with winter temperatures, the summer will always show warming."From this information serp, we can see clearly that this is effecting other countries as well, this "cooling process". So no, the earth is experiencing heat patterns, but given my opponents lack of a source, we can assume that this one is correct. http://lwf.ncdc.noaa.gov... http://climate.rutgers.edu... http://ec.gc.ca...There are plenty more of those from different bureaus but... C2: "Global warming" has happened many times before."The basic explanation for global warming is an overall, and relatively dramatic, increase of the earths€™s temperature caused by several factors. The main argument is that the earth€™s ozone layer is getting chipped off little by little by the countless chemicals that humans spout off, ranging from hairsprays to emissions by automobiles and all the other pollution-causing substances that environmentalists rage against. The decreasing number of trees also contributes to the process, putting humans on an endless, and seemingly losing fight, against keeping the planet from overheating."http://globalwarming-articles.org...The earth has survived through countless years and millennial, and any suspicion of global warming is easily explained by natural cycles.Around the year 4500 BC, archaeologists have dug up proof for a very real, very big flood a few thousand years ago. What did they find? Countless fossils of fish and other marine creatures stuck up on the mountains in the Middle East region. Speculation to this was caused greatly to believe that the polar Ice caps melting were the cause. So in that case, thousands of years ago, we polluted the atmosphere to receive these effects? Unlikely. Again, this is purely a natural cause. ***** CONCLUSION *****I have successfully proven that Global Warming does not exist through theory of it's definition. Global warming is a theory that is though that the earth is warming abnormally. This is untrue. I have proven that the earth goes through cycles of heat. I have also proven that the earth is getting cooler if anything. Thus I have defeated the resolution twice, While Upholding my BOP.I look forward to my opponents response!
