Arguments
- What exactly transaction is being talked about? Are we talking about pure CO2 stored in a tank which I want to purchase, so that the government would impose a price control on it? Are we talking about equivalent amount of CO2 industrial activities I partake in produce? Are we talking about direct imposition of these price control, or more indirect regulations that are projected to result in the market price being this?
- It is unclear to me what it means to "steal from future generations". I would like to hear my opponent's definition of "stealing" used in this sentence. All (economical) definitions of stealing I am familiar with involve stealing from someone who currently possesses a piece of property, which, to my understanding, future generations metaphysically cannot.
- I do not understand where the number of $100 came from. Why not $99 or $101? Why not $50 or $200? What economical analysis resulted in this spectacularly round number?
- I would like to understand how my opponent arrived at the conclusion that without this measure in place I would eventually have a "bunch" of climate change-displaced refugees in my neighborhood. Is my neighborhood somehow special, or does this sentence refer to a more general "A neighborhood", in which case climate change-displaced refugees would somewhat uniformly fill out all neighborhoods? And, again, why does the exact value of $100 prevents this from occurring, rather than $99 or $101 or some other value?
- My opponent also mentioned the projected consequences of a one meter rise in sea level, which appears to me to be completely disconnected from the rest of the argument. I would like to see the connection drawn; how does this support my opponent's conclusion?
- Finally, I would like to see a bit of discussion of the potential negative consequences of imposing the regulations my opponent has in mind. As per famous Thomas Sowell' quote, "There are no solutions, only trade-offs". The discussion of this proposal without considering both positive and negative consequences of it seems incomplete to me.
With that, I am handing the microphone over to my opponent to clarify their argument, so we can proceed with a constructive discussion.  Considerate: 100%
