Cuban EmbargoTournament: Berkeley | Round: 1 | Opponent: everyone | Judge: swag Ethanol Not all ethanol’s the same. Cuba won’t clear land or displace food. Impacts are food prices Castro has rightly pointed out that there can be a direct trade-off between Cerrado Destruction Scenario Specht ‘12 The full debate over the environmental consequences of the Brazilian biofuel¶ production¶ 111 Cerrado’s key to warming and global biod. It’s a strong carbon sink and key to medical breakthroughs. Vitali ‘11 Loss of the Cerrado is of global concern not only because¶ of its significant Biod checks extinction. Solves ecosystems and checks next pathogen Mittermeier ‘11 Extinction is the gravest consequence of the biodiversity crisis, since it is¶ irreversible Independently – extinction-pathogens are coming. Maximum biod’s needed to solve. Yule ‘13 Although one hypothesis explains the recent upswing in emerging infectious disease as a result of Warming’s anthropogenic. We’re fine so long as we have strong carbon sinks. Hu ‘9 Human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and¶ land use changes Warming kills billions – risks extinction. McKewon ‘7 Climate change is paving a “highway to extinction” which could see billions of Food Prices Scenario Wise ‘12 Food wars outweigh your contrived security impact on probability and magnitude. Cribb ‘10 Irrespective of war or food distribution, price spikes worsen global death tolls. Many Americans see terrorism as the principal threat to security, but for much of Plan solves in two ways: First – Lifting sanctions spurs Cuban Sugar Ethanol sector Soligo ‘10 The shift in acreage devoted to food crops has not been successful in terms of Cuba can generate huge amounts of sugar-ethanol via once-used land. Soligo ‘10 In 2002 we published a paper on Cuban energy that began with the observation “ Second – Cuban oil means Cuban ethanol boom Stephens ‘11 Cuba’s potential contribution to the regional energy market could be valuable to the U. Collapse Only a complete rollback of the embargo can buy time for Raul’s Castro reforms to succeed preventing a Cuban implosion and increased terrorist activity Cuba under Raúl Castro has entered a new period of economic, social, and Terrorists operating out of a destabilized Cuba will launch successful attacks throughout the hemisphere In the midst of an unstable Cuba, the opportunity for radical fundamentalist groups to Terrorists will have access to Cuban Bioweapons Extinction Solvency Cuban farmers want to produce sugar – the equipment is fully operable Cuba will say yes – eager to pursue additional trade ties with the United States. China Anti-Americanism is growing in Latin America – extending an olive branch to Cuba is necessary to re-establish our regional soft power The plan leads to broader cooperation and influence in the region and globally This cooperation and influence is key to solve existential crisis Many of the issues on the hemispheric agenda carry critical global¶ dimensions. Because Chinese encroachment is growing and threatens US strategic dominance China will loom large over U.S. President Barack Obama's visit to Latin That risks accidental war – US influence is necessary to deter China Focused on military operations in the Middle East, nuclear threats in Iran and North
Specifically, increased Chinese influence causes conflict over Taiwan Taiwan – domestic, or foreign policy?¶ China’s goals in the region amount to China war would go nuclear A war between China, Taiwan and the United States has the potential to escalate Agriculture US exports, trade with China, and oil exploration with Venezuela are all pushing Cuba to abandon sustainable and organic farming In much sustainable agriculture praise of Cuba, we do not hear that the country The plan generates much needed capital for Cuban organic agriculture and leads to US adoption which fuels worldwide adoption Energy intensive agriculture is the primary cause of environmental degradation Just when agricultural output could expand no more by increasing acreage, new innovations made Ecological collapse risks extinction But today, for the first time, humanity’s global civilization—the worldwide, | 2/10/14 |
IFFs AffTournament: Berkeley | Round: 2 | Opponent: everyone | Judge: sweg Drug cartels rely on trade mispricing and illicit flows to launder profits – that poses a major national security risk and exacerbates all social ills While the report cannot specifically breakdown into which jurisdictions illicit outflows from Mexico are deposited Plan is necessary and sufficient – only the plan can shift us away from a failed, violent strategy In Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, a student peace protester is gunned down by the Continued drug trafficking leads to instability – First, security – spills over to regional instability, provokes hostility toward the US, and forces massive migrations Third, Mexican stability serves as an important anchor for the region. With networks Second, violence – a violent anti-drug strategy fuels the cartels and turns Mexico into a narco-state by 2014 Obama Must End the War on Drugs -- or Mexico and Afghanistan Will Collapse With Instability leads to extinction – generates conflict, leads to failed states, and exacerbates all of the root causes of conflict At the same time, President Chávez’s approach to Latin American security and stability requires Economy Money laundering undermines global financial stability – wrecks financial reputations, discourages investment, and devalues asset markets There are some macroeconomic and microeconomic implications of money laundering which corrupt financial and legal Economic scholars agree financial stability is the controlling internal link to the economy – strong banks protect the economy from external and internal shocks The recent financial crisis caused huge cost to the world economies and despite quite substantial US economic collapse leads to great power wars between the US, Russia, and China If America now tries to pull back from the world stage, it will leave Plan Model IGAs Two internal links - First is reciprocal IGAs - The current intergovernmental agreement with Mexico is not reciprocal – undermines multilateral tax transparency and wrecks the automatic exchange model A recent flurry of signed IGAs and press releases on ongoing negotiations suggests the US The Mexican IGA is the litmus test for all other IGAs; its successful resolution triggers an avalanche of other IGAs to be signed Mexico surely understands that an agreement for automatic exchange with the United States will induce IGAs are on balance the best way to solve illicit money flows – immediate action is needed Second is automatic exchange - global tax transparency is coming now and the US is the model – only the automatic exchange model can achieve tax transparency and shut down money laundering To tax-freedom advocates like Mr Mitchell, one of the most infuriating aspects Global tax transparency using AEI is the only way to solve international IFFs Malaysian IFFs are large and increasing – increases corruption, crime, and inequality Close to RM200 billion of dirty money was siphoned out of Malaysia in 2010, This generates political and economic instability in Maylasia – only international transparency solves Malaysia is among the countries which registered the highest illicit financial outflows over a period Malaysian stability is key to the independence and effectiveness of the ASEAN and avoiding foreign dominance in Southeast Asia Every era creates new parameters for political actors in international relations. Malaysia, as ASEAN stability and effectiveness is necessary to sustain global peace and progress – World War III is the alternative Should regionalism collapse, then ASEAN too will go the way of earlier regional attempts Tax Transparency The global environment for tax transparency is moving fast and the United States FATCA is the model – the only barrier is the non-reciprocal agreement with Mexico The global environment for tax transparency is changing at an unprecedented pace. In parallel Specifically the current agreement with Mexico doesn’t share American information – undermines multilateral tax transparency A recent flurry of signed IGAs and press releases on ongoing negotiations suggests the US Multilateral exchange is necessary – shuts down money laundering, increases tax revenue, and accelerates development Internationally, automatic information reporting now has the upper hand over anonymous withholding, largely Finance Money laundering undermines global financial stability – wrecks financial reputations, discourages investment, and devalues asset markets There are some macroeconomic and microeconomic implications of money laundering which corrupt financial and legal Specifically, drug money laundering through American financial institutions undermines the credibility, legitimacy, and stability of the financial system – the plan’s crack-down on laundering solves Money laundering by large international banks has reached epidemic proportions, and U.S Economic scholars agree financial stability is the controlling internal link to the economy – strong banks protect the economy from external and internal shocks The recent financial crisis caused huge cost to the world economies and despite quite substantial Economic decline and volatility heightens the risk of nuclear global conflict—multiple scenarios Even so, history may be more instructive than ever. While we continue to Broad statistical models prove the impact Less intuitive is how periods of economic decline may increase the likelihood of external conflict US economic collapse leads to great power wars between the US, Russia, and China If America now tries to pull back from the world stage, it will leave | 2/10/14 |
