Claim: In pushing too hard for the case that global warming is universally bad for everything, the administration’s report undermines the reasonable case for climate action.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: Public concern over global warming and support for climate policy-making in the US is low relative to other nations (see Chapter 10, this volume), contributing to inaction by the US government.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: While the ozone layer and climate change are considered separate problems, the solution to the former has significantly mitigated global warming.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: It has been argued that the Montreal Protocol, may have done more than any other measure, as of 2017[update], to mitigate climate change as those substances were also powerful greenhouse gases.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: They challenged the scientific evidence, argued that global warming would have benefits, warned that concern for global warming was some kind of socialist plot to undermine American capitalism, and asserted that proposed solutions would do more harm than good.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: Litigation is increasingly used as a tool to strengthen climate action, with governments being the biggest target of lawsuits demanding that they become ambitious on climate action or enforce existing laws.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: The Bush Administration worked to undermine state efforts to mitigate global warming.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: The EPA has determined that greenhouse gas pollution causes global temperature warming, leading to harmful changes to the environment and human health globally such as increased drought and increased famine due to decrease in water supply and agricultural production.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: Decision 1/CP.16, paragraph 4, in UNFCCC: Cancun 2010: "deep cuts in global greenhouse gas emissions are required according to science, and as documented in the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, with a view to reducing global greenhouse gas emissions so as to hold the increase in global average temperature below 2 °C above preindustrial levels".

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: In March 2001, the George W. Bush Administration announced that it would not implement the Kyoto Protocol, an international treaty signed in 1997 in Kyoto, Japan that would require nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, claiming that ratifying the treaty would create economic setbacks in the U.S. and does not put enough pressure to limit emissions from developing nations.

Passage: On 2008-04-29, a UNICEF UK Report found that global warming is already reducing the quality of the world's most vulnerable children's lives and making it more difficult to meet the UN Millennium Development Goals.

Passage: The Real Global Warming Disaster ("Is the Obsession with 'Climate Change' Turning Out to Be the Most Costly Scientific Blunder in History?")

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: Although the parties to the UNFCCC have agreed that deep cuts in emissions are required and that global warming should be limited to well below 2 °C (3.6 °F) in the Paris Agreement of 2016, the Earth's average surface temperature has already increased by about half this threshold and current pledges by countries to cut emissions are inadequate to limit future warming.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: Global warming is the greatest cause of impact to the environment.
