The U.S should slowly ban gas powered cars and invest in hydrogen powered cars.

I am already itching to refute some statements con made but of course I must wait until next round. I believe it is appropriate however that he does not need to believe a position to take it. It's called strawmaning and I don't mind if you do it at all. As long as one actually puts forth effort.Weighing mechanismThe weighing mechanism should be based on which side presents an argument that is more beneficial for the human race in the near future. Also it should be based on the suggestion that I should prove my plan to be worth the sacrifices we have to make in order to enact the order.We are drowning in our own stool. It will kill us if we don't do something to reduce our waste.The co2 emission problem is real and we can't just blow it off and say it's some scam anymore. Global warming is happening and is amplifying everyday with the major contributing action of humans. Ever since the industrial revolution and the double edged sword of fossil fuel burning was discovered we have been massively adding more carbon in the air. The record high levels of co2 that humans put in the air have been the highest in 15 to 20 million years. A change of 100 ppm usually takes 5,000 to 20,000 years. the recent change of 100 ppm has only taken 120 years. Scientists haven't seen these modern and future water levels since the glaciers melted and shifted the earth near the end of the ice age. We are producing way to much co2. Way more than our climate can absorb.http://www.sciencemag.org...http://www.skepticalscience.com...So then one must beg the question of why should I care. Well if we continue burning fossil fuels and release co2 like we have been, global warming is going to melt away large portions of Greenland, and both arctic hemispheres and glaciers within 60-200 years. That would mean a 80 meter increase in water levels. If Greenland melts that's a 10 meter rise it will flood most if not all of New York, Britain, etc.... In the past 20 years 40 % of Greenland has melted faster than in 20,000 years. Besides the flooding there is also the issue of the additional trapped methane gases in the glaciers. If they melt and the super massive amounts of methane stored inside are released into the atmosphere earths magnetic field will disappear leaving us open to solar radiation burning us all into extinction. We would turn into mars or Venus basically and the magnetic field may not ever recover. So the screaming fact of the matter is WE NEED TO CHANGE!!!! My suggestion of my resolution may not fix the problem on it's own, but it is a starting point and will contribute in large way and may possibly spawn the other countries to participate in a global effort.How Do We Fix This?There is no immediate way to fix this. If We, the whole world stop burning fossil fuels it would take one century for the co2 levels to stabilise. However it would slowly but sure dramatically slow down the change in our climate and slow down global warming and the glacier melt down. I truly would like the entire world to stop burning fossil fuels because that way the climate would stabilize faster with a combined effort. If the U.S an stopped the healing period may double in length or triple in time it takes to recover which would not give us enough time to prevent the extinction of earths magnetic field. However for the purpose of this debate I will suggest that the U.S needs to start making these changes and hopefully influence and convince the rest of the world that we will die if we don't use and alternative fuel source than fossil fuels. If the U.S slowly bans the use of fossil fueled powered cars we can dramatically reduce the worlds cumulative carbon emission rate. After all the U.S and China are the largest contributors. This plan is incredibly better than doing nothing and waiting to die. Not taking action now and not latter is basically suicide. Why? because we can do something to stop this. If we die because of laziness or money we would be a disgraceful civilization in the history books. We would be the generation that was so procrasinistic, so obsessed with money, so obsessed with war and how big each other looks that we killed ourselves. If we commit suicide and I read about our generation I would think we were incredibly stupid for not doing something to prevent our avoidable deaths.http://pubs.usgs.gov...http://www.dw.de...The U.S should invest in hydrogen powered cars as an alternative fossil fuel .The U.S has already produced many many hydrogen powered cars. The only problem is that gas stops don't sell hydrogen fueling stations. We should invest in this and force oil companies to obtain hydrogen fueling stations. Not only would this investment save our world temporarily, but it would theoretically lower fuel prices. Hydrogen powered cars run on 200-300mpg. Why would anyone not want these type of cars? It would save us lots of money. This investment could also result in a so called green age where we actually start using the green technologies in a globalized way to improve our economies. The rest of the world may jump on board to. If this happens on a global level a new age may spurt.
