2] Limits – there are hundreds of different lethal autonomous weapons which means speccing explodes neg prep burdens – we cannot conceivably have responses to each subset, but the aff can always frontline why their specific plan doesn’t link to any of our generics – that kills clash which is the internal link to fairness because we can’t win if we can’t engage. It’s uniquely worse on this topic because the resolution is largely a pre-emptive ban which means the aff can literally spec any hypothetical future LAW – kills our ability to engage. Independently, massive caselists harm small school debaters who don’t have prep groups that can churn out disads to every tiny aff that big schools think of. Accessibility is an independent voter cuz it’s a prerequisite to debate.

Ocean development is utilization of ocean resources
Japanese Institute of Navigation, 98 (“Ocean Engineering Research Committee”, http://members.j-navigation.org/e-committee/Ocean.htm) Discussions of "Ocean Engineering" are inseparable from "Ocean Development." What is ocean development? Professor Kiyomitsu Fujii of the University of Tokyo defines ocean development in his book as using oceans for mankind, while preserving the beauty of nature. In the light of its significance and meaning, the term "Ocean Development" is not necessarily a new term. Ocean development is broadly classified into three aspects: (1) Utilization of ocean resources, (2) Utilization of ocean spaces, and (3) Utilization of ocean energy.

Empirics aren’t predictive---future demand gaps will be worse, making inefficient sharing institutions untenable
Peter Engelke & Russell Sticklor 15, Engelke is a Resident Senior Fellow with the Strategic Foresight Initiative at the Atlantic Council in Washington, DC.; Sticklor is a Non-Resident Research Fellow with the Stimson Environmental Security Program in Washington, DC., “Water Wars: The Next Great Driver of Global Conflict?,” National Interest, 9-15-2015, https://nationalinterest.org/feature/water-wars-the-next-great-driver-global-conflict-13842 We live in an age of great anxiety about threats to global peace and stability. Among these are worries that intense water-related stresses, now showing up in regions around the world, may become all-too-common sources of conflict. Just as often, however, concerns about water wars are dismissed as much ado about nothing. An influential school of thought has long contended future international conflicts will not be fought over this resource. Water, it says, is of such elemental importance to human existence that even long-time adversaries will be forced to accommodate one another’s needs in a water-scarce future. As water is too expensive to transport over long distances, moreover, it is very difficult to steal or plunder. And history gives some comfort to this forecast: as few wars have been fought specifically over water, it is highly unlikely humanity will start engaging in water conflicts now. Or so the thinking goes.

Their dichotomies between black men and women leave black trans people subject to the formulative violence of superhumanism – black Trans bodies never existed in the first place – they alienate all other queers.
