Global Warming Research
- invested heavily on global warming research
- our scientists have provided many reports on the positive impacts of increased CO2
- examples include a warmer/healthier climate, fast growing plants which results in more food, and new areas for crops
Rising Sea Levels Slowing Down
- extreme weather will continue to be apparent with or without "global warming"
- how we are affected is all about preparedness
- "The impact of Climate Change is very low compared to the impact of climate itself"
- sea levels have not been rising as much as people make it out to be
- the impact of "global warming" will be small and the temperature of the will continue to rise regardless

Evidence
Black is the New Green
- coal can be used cleanly through carbon capture
- CCS(carbon capture and storage) strips out, purifies, and CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion
- CO2 is captured during combustion and stored in a suitable place
- coal WILL continued to be used!

Coal is Important!
- coal is mined in 27 states
- coal is the main source of electricity
- coal deposits are enough to satisfy current energy needs worldwide for the next 300 years
- 37% of the electricity worldwide is generated by coal
