Contention 1 is Warming
Cooperation on climate change is stagnating- strong relations jumpstart coop Tom Barry, 5/2 who directs the TransBorder Project at CIP, is the author of numerous books on U.S.-Latin America relations, including three books on Mexico. His most recent CIP publication is Drones Over the Homeland. TransBorder Project Policy Report: “Changing Perspectives on U.S.-Mexico Relations” http://nacla.org/news/2013/5/2/changing-perspectives-us-mexico-relations The lead items of the Los Pinos meeting are ones that have long dominated U AND and part of the larger North American community with shared interests and responsibilities.¶ The plan changes the perception of Mexico from a problem to a business partner- spillover to other issues Selee and Wilson 12 Andrew, vice president for programs at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and a senior adviser for the Mexico Institute at the Wilson Center and Christopher, associate for the Mexico Institute at the Wilson Center (“Getting ready for a new era in U.S.-Mexico ties,” CNN.com, http://globalpublicsquare.blogs.cnn.com/2012/12/03/getting-ready-for-a-new-era-in-u-s-mexico-ties/) U.S.-Mexico relations have been dominated for the past six years by AND such a change in perception occurs, the results will speak for themselves.

And ignoring consequences is complicit with the evils of the status quo Issac 02 – Professor of political science at Indiana-Bloomington, Director of the Center for the Study of Democracy and Public Life, PhD from Yale (Jeffery C., Dissent Magazine, Vol. 49, Iss. 2, “Ends, Means, and Politics,” p. Proquest) As a result, the most important political questions are simply not asked. It AND what matters is not purity of intention but the intelligent exercise of power. Power is not a dirty word or an unfortunate feature of the world. It AND not true believers. It promotes arrogance. And it undermines political effectiveness.
Contention 2 is Manufacturing US Manufacturing is declining- china and offshoring Fingleton 13 (Eamonn, His books, written for a general audience, deal with global economics and globalism.
