[A Few Things Ill Considered] How to Talk to a Climate Sceptic : A Few Things Ill Considered: Im from Sri Lanka and im 16 years old.Ill be participating in a debate on the the 5th of September and the topic for the debate is "the inconvenient truth is that there is nothing we can do about global warming so quit trying".Ive decided to oppose the topic.If it's no trouble could you point out what sort of arguments the Proposition could come up with.(so far im guessing they would take the anti AGW standpoint and say that its all natural so lets quit trying).What ive thought of doing is approaching this issue by first substantiating the AGW theory and then saying "even if, for arguments sake" AGW theory is wrong does this mean we cant do anything about global warming and quit trying natural or man made because at the end of the day it is still harmful.And of course i will be asking the legitimate question of "at what point do you say that we cant do anything about global warming?" but do you think the proposition would likely go with an anti AGW argument or come up with something else? if you think they are what kind of tips could you give me?
