Warming causes extinction -~-- oxygen, disease, ice melt, and cognitive failure Oh, it could get very bad. In 2015, a study in the Journal of Mathematical Biology pointed out that if the world’s oceans kept warming, by 2100 they might become hot enough to “stop oxygen production by phyto-plankton by disrupting the process of photosynthesis.” Given that two-thirds of the Earth’s oxygen comes from phytoplankton, that would “likely result in the mass mortality of animals and humans.” A year later, above the Arctic Circle, in Siberia, a heat wave thawed a reindeer carcass that had been trapped in the permafrost. The exposed body released anthrax into nearby water and soil, infecting two thousand reindeer grazing nearby, and they in turn infected some humans; a twelve-year-old boy died. As it turns out, permafrost is a “very good preserver of microbes and viruses, because it is cold, there is no oxygen, and it is dark” — scientists have managed to revive an eight-million-year-old bacterium they found beneath the surface of a glacier. Researchers believe there are fragments of the Spanish flu virus, smallpox, and bubonic plague buried in Siberia and Alaska. Or consider this: as ice sheets melt, they take weight off land, and that can trigger earthquakes — seismic activity is already increasing in Greenland and Alaska. Meanwhile, the added weight of the new seawater starts to bend the Earth’s crust. “That will give you a massive increase in volcanic activity. It’ll activate faults to create earthquakes, submarine landslides, tsunamis, the whole lot,” explained the director of University College London’s Hazard Centre. Such a landslide happened in Scandinavia about eight thousand years ago, as the last Ice Age retreated and a Kentucky-size section of Norway’s continental shelf gave way, “plummeting down to the abyssal plain and creating a series of titanic waves that roared forth with a vengeance,” wiping all signs of life from coastal Norway to Greenland and “drowning the Wales-sized landmass that once connected Britain to the Netherlands, Denmark, and Germany.” When the waves hit the Shetlands, they were sixty-five feet high. There’s even this: if we keep raising carbon dioxide levels, we may not be able to think straight anymore. At a thousand parts per million (which is within the realm of possibility for 2100), human cognitive ability falls 21 percent. “The largest effects were seen for Crisis Response, Information Usage, and Strategy,” a Harvard study reported, which is too bad, as those skills are what we seem to need most. | 10/12/21 |
SeptOct - K - Puar v 1Tournament: 1 - Grapevine | Round: 2 | Opponent: Harrison HB | Judge: Jyleesa Hampton Their conception of embodiment and identity presumes an intersection of positions from which to demand accountability—this rendering of the social field reproduces disciplinary power and locks us into the grid of positionality, preventing change Homonationalism has justified liberal interventions in foreign countries – recreates biopolitics of the state controlling its population and violations of freedom The alternative is to reject the aff as an act of queer suicide terrorism –an explosion, in favor of unsettling the violent definitions of subjectivity. This is a complete refusal of western notions of subjectivity and a universal humanity. We are machinic organisms, metal and environment together in a messy fusion. Where does life begin and end? This question is only answerable from a position of reason and power that we want to blow up. | 10/12/21 |

2. Curry and Curry 2 Second, PERPETUATING RACISM: their philosophy is actively used to rationalize Black deaths. Curry and Curry 3 Vote negative to reject their Western metaphysical tradition and recognize the permanent failure of White philosophy. Instead, endorse Black philosophy as a site to engage in radical theorizations – attempts at integration commodify Black philosophers as extensions of White thinkers, which waters down Black philosophy to something for White philosophers to deem respectable scholarship. A fundamental reorientation of the discipline away from universal reason is key. | 10/12/21 |
SeptOct - K - Preciado v1Tournament: 3 - JWP | Round: 1 | Opponent: Mount Vernon TK | Judge: Mohammad Sheikh The regime of biopolitical control changed drastically after World War Two: the body has become the final frontier of control, in which sex is the principal resource.

Bruce Benderson, p. 145-152~ TS Politics is snuff porn: the negs performance creates moments of excitation through sexual investment into the feel-good affect of pursuing political solutions – which sanitizes the global war against that which falls outside the Western frame of representation. Instead, opt to use our bodies, speeches and debates as laboratories of experimental subjectivities that can foment new political subjectivities to resist normalization.Preciado 13 "Testo Junkie: Sex, Drugs, and Biopolitics in the Pharmacopornographic Era" (Paul, professor of Political History of the Body, Gender Theory, and History of Performance at Université Paris VIII)pday Each body has a potential for orgasmic force which is exploited by pharmaporn. Heterosexuality then should be understood as a politically assisted procreation technology for the continuation of the species, using this orgasmic force to propel itself.

SeptOct - K - Psycho v1Tournament: 3 - JWP | Round: 5 | Opponent: Little Rock Central MG | Judge: Lawson Hudson The 1AC's demand to be recognized as a form of political strategy is an investment into hegemonic order—their failure to theorize about their desire traps the 1AC in a cycle and turns it into an object from which we extract momentary pleasure. Debate is structured by an agential fantasy—the aff is an impotent academic offering that is answered and alleviated by judges only to restart the cycle in the very next round. The aff and WTO protestors share a common refusal to surpass politics in order to maintain their structure of demand.Lundberg 12 ~Christian, Associate Professor of Rhetoric at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and co-Director of the University Program in Cultural Studies.

Abraham Sklar, June 20, 1905, Lexis Academic~ The first question is whether, in applying the statute, the judge may consider the costs of the different cases together as one aggregate, and reduce them to an amount "not less than the ~*364~ ordinary witness fees and other costs recoverable in one of the cases"; or, whether he is to consider the costs of each case by itself, and make the reduction in each case separately. If he is limited tothe latter mode, he cannot extinguish or disallow the costs altogether in any case, for the word "reduce," in its ordinarysignification, does not mean to cancel, destroy or bring to naught, but to diminish, lower or bring to an inferior state. We think HN2Go to this Headnote in the case.the words above quoted indicate that, in reducing the costs, the amount in all the cases together is to be considered and reduced. This makes it possible for the judge, in his discretion, to reduce them in such a way as to leave nothing in some of the cases, providing he leaves in the aggregate an amount not ~*3~ less than the largest sum recoverable in any of the cases.Standards: Limits: allowing elimitation justifies teams to broadly interpret other words in the resolutions —- kills limits because we never know the resoultio is we are debatingGround: allowing elimination aff's kills neg ground – circumvention, elimination counterplans, mechanism links etc.Voter for fairness and education.No RVI's – a. topicality is a stock issue which tests affirmatives interation with the topic b. rvi's disencitivize teams running T – kills the ability of the neg to test the aff c. their model allows affs to get abusive and just prep the T debate | 10/12/21 |
