It is difficult to predict the advent of the new Ice Age—the time when continental glaciers will start to cover Scandinavia, Central and Northern Europe, Asia, Canada, the United States, Chile, and Argentina with an ice layer hundreds and thousands of meters thick; when mountain glaciers in the
Himalayas, Andes, and Alps, in Africa and Indonesia, once again will

Scenario 2: Biodiversity

Warming collapses biodiversity

warming caused by human emissions could propel us towards a similar hothouse Earth.

Scenario 3 : Climate Migrants

Rising sea levels from climate change will force massive migrations—inducing instability and state failure across the globe

Tournament: UNI | Round: | Opponent: | Judge:

Observation: 1 Inherency

NRC shut down nuclear power

Plan-IFR

Plan: The Department of Energy should guarantee loans for companies to build Integral Fast Reactors

Observation: 2 Solvency

IFRs are inevitable in the SQ—Market Pressure proves

The problem is that the current rate of development for the IFRs is slow and will take decades before they are a market force

Now is the key time to restart the IFR which solves waste, the economy, creates jobs, environmental leadership and global warming

Because IFRs can be retrofitted into coal plants and use the same infrastructure they will take the place of coal plants —and jumpstarts the whole industry

Advantage: Indian Country

Obama ending all hopes of Yucca has sent the industry looking for a new place to store waste

Without another option—nuclear waste will be stored on Goshute land—

The dumping of nuclear waste on Native Americans is not accidental it is a government designed form of colonization and genocide which threatens the entire planet

This is a form of genocide

The mechanics

Global warming is real and happening; 5 reasons

It’s anthropogenic and scientific consensus goes aff.

Not inevitable – even if temporarily over the tipping point, can be brought back down.

===Scenario 1: Ice Age ===

Warming causes alterations in the North Atlantic current and stops the ocean conveyor belt causing an ice age quickly

Warming increases volcanic activity
