1ac -- TOCTournament: TOC | Round: 4 | Opponent: Bronx Science DM | Judge: Sanchez The first option is to continue using oil by imperialistically exploiting the rest of the world by deploying military forces to control and dominate oil producing countries The second, which is being implemented now, is corn ethanol—this starves the rest of the world, killing over a billion people The corn that Americans burn in their cars could feed the population of 82 food-deficit countries Thus, Sahar and I believe that the United States federal government should offer Mexico the option to export increased non-corn biofuels to the United States. The plan results in broader non-corn usage—solve prices currently inflated due to corn ethanol usage that drive a third of the world into poverty, malnourishment, and underdevelopment Unfortunately, Mexican biofuels are subject to restrictions upon entering the United States—the plan amends NAFTA to allow for greater biofuel trade The U.S. already displaced Mexican corn farmers first with NAFTA and then with corn ethanol—only the plan resolves that by bringing profitable agriculture back Corn ethanol is worse than petroleum and massively increases CO2 emissions Jatropha can be planted on unusable, dert-land, improving soil quality and mitigating emissions Sugarcane ethanol will reduces emissions by over 78 Moreover, it acts as a carbon sink to decrease current CO2 Extinction Warming is real and anthropogenic Prefer expertism in the context of warming, even if it is bad in general The affirmative’s scientific knowledge is good because it subjects itself to constant refinement based on empirical evidence Pragmatic warming policy is effective and key to prevent extinction Public advocacy of climate solutions key to change governmental policy---individual change insufficient The state is inevitable and an indispensable part of the solution to warming | 4/27/14 |
1ac -- dowlingTournament: Dowling | Round: 1 | Opponent: Bishop Guertin TS | Judge: Cort Sylvester The plan strengthens USFG commitment to biofuels—increases R and D and results in broader energy trade liberalization U.S. trade credibility low now due to energy restrictions Energy restrictions hurt efforts to solve warming and hurt trade credibility This collapses global trade Trade credibility is critical to solve warming Extinction Feedbacks are net positive --- additional emissions cause runaway warming Independently, CO2 causes ocean acidification–extinction. Warming is real and human induced – numerous studies prove – no other viable explanation It’s not inevitable—every increment of C02 is key Amending trade agreements solve without harming the environment 1ac corn ethanol Usage increasing—increases food prices, causing famine and starvation The plan allows the U.S. to import new Mexican non-corn biofuels The plan switches production from corn ethanol to sugar ethanol—solves skyrocketing food prices High prices cause extinction Even blips triggers the impact So does famine 1ac plan text Thus the plan – 1ac mexico The plan boosts the Mexican economy which prevents drug and human trafficking This is especially true due to declining oil revenues Lack of economic opportunity causes drug cultivation Only economic development solves Drug trade creates massive political instability Mexican collapse destroys U.S. global engagement That leads to Asian wars, especially in Korea Nuclear war Independently, the plan cements Mexican relations Solves bioterrorism and transnational disease Extinction Mutations ensure diseases cause extinction Our body is in constant competition with a dizzying array of viruses, bacteria, | 12/29/13 |
