As mojack said– it's not natural. We've sped up the timeline, destroyed the ozone layer, etc. Last ice age didn't happen in a day, it took decades if not hundred of years to fully 'activate' as it were. We could be looking at a global catastrophe within our lifetime because of what started going down barely 50-60 years ago.

Idk man I think it's pretty unnatural to have no snow in December but get a show cancelled at the end of April because of a snowstorm

In the words of my middle school science teacher, "the only people who don't believe in global warming are politicians and businessmen."
And how is this not? The ice age was frickin huge. It changed the world so much we cannot see the end of its impact. And we lived through that already. The earths temperature has been going back and forth for thousands and thousands of years. Why is this so different?
I just said it.
It’s sped up by manmade activities.
Many islands and coastlines are already seeing flooding. A village in Asia received half a seasons rain in a few hours, which is a lot of water in a short period of time. Places that aren’t supposed to be hot are receiving hotter temperatures, and hot places are already getting hotter. Places that don’t receive snow are getting snow.
Climate change will effect the world in many ways. It’ll effect the animals, the wildlife, fauna, etc. It’ll effect economics. E.G, Grapes that might be grown in a certain area right now, maybe in 50-60 years they’ll be grown somewhere else because of how the climate is affecting them.
In the words of my middle school science teacher, "the only people who don't believe in global warming are politicians and businessmen."
I’ve heard the exact same thing. Only with people who do believe.
So just so we’re clear, Global Warming peeps think this is natural, just too fast.
It's natural for the planet to under shifting climate, because it too is a living thing, but yes this situation is far too fast and dangerous to be ignored.
Ma dudes. This.

PragerU is utter bullshit though
That first question was so loaded and lead those students into saying that separate housing is okay. T_T
But wow that's kind of weird.
Pfft. If they are that easy to lead there is another problem.
PragerU is utter bullshit though
How come?

Because it's biased as hell.
Not only does PragerU seem to have a biased opinion on most matters, but it also has two other problems that weaken your argument.
Point 1. Trying to answer a question, by using an answer to an entirely different and unrelated question.
Example: PragerU (or at least I remember it being PragerU when they would send in an endless flood of ads on their opinion on YouTube, such a great way to advertise) ran an ad for their reasoning on why the pay gap is a myth. Their answer was that on average, a normal woman will choose a job that has a lower pay than a job a man would choose.
Unfortunately, that is not what the pay gap even refers to. The pay gap refers to when two people have the same job and receive different pay, not the overall average between all jobs.
Point 2. They seem to deal in absolutes. I have yet to see them have a topic where they end on a neutral answer, or none at all, which happens far more often than you think. It's a little lesson from my English class: Never write an essay where you agree with something 100%, because more than likely, if you actually bother thinking about the topic, you don't.

Only a Sith deals in absolutes
Yeah, they used to flood my YouTube ads until I blocked them…

It is known
That line makes such nonsense.
Because it's biased as hell.
Truly. But isn’t everyone?

Well said.
On the pay gap, it was first measured by all men’s earnings to all women’s earnings which was quite wrong. As for what a real pay gap would be, (meaning what you spoke of) that is a lot harder to define since it is illegal and not reported on a wide scale partially because it is done by individuals instead of a system. Which goes against one of the things commonly said paired with the wage gap.
Yeah. Absolutes do exist. Even in politics. But not as much as many say.
(Hey this exists)
Since it is now Spooky-tober I say we have a themed debate! Here are some topics:
Origin of Halloween
Should there be a celebration for Halloween?
What costumes are appropriate?
Best Monster?
Most creative Spooky Story?
What's more fun? Parties or Trick-or-Treating?
(feel free to add topic ideas)
Ooh, I love that, Eris!!
group
As for costumes, I'd say that you should follow the Library Rule when trick-or-treating: if a child couldn't see it, it shouldn't be somewhere where there's a large group of kids. If it's a Halloween party with a bunch of adults, go wild, I don't care, but don't be a hyperrealistic-guts-falling-out-of-stomach zombie covered in fake blood and scar makeup when you're walking around the neighborhood at 5 pm.
oof
Have you failed this Eris?
excuse you
my costumes have always been appropriate!!!
(x for doubt)

Please tell me you drew that
