5. Thesis Evaluating impacts is the number one way to win debates
The side that proves their impacts are most important and they who can either solve or avoid the impact will win.

How likely is nuclear war?
How likely is an economic downturn?

9. Evaluating Impacts Timeframe-when the impact is going to occur
When are the largest impacts of global warming going to occur
If we have a recession, how soon would we feel the impacts?

10. When debating
Determine which of the 3 are the strongest for your impact.
Explain why this matters in debates

11. Magnitude
We must always evaluate magnitude first. Any risk of extinction means humanity will not longer exist, thus even if the probability is extremely low, it is not worth the risk of destroying the Earth

12. Probability
We can give you almost certain probability that our impacts will happen. Even if our impacts are not as large as our opponents. You know for certain if you do not vote for us, people will suffer. You only have a small risk of my opponents impacts.

13. Timeframe
Our impacts will happen before our opponents. Even if the magnitude of their impacts are slightly larger, since our impacts will happen first, their impacts will not longer matter.

14. In your final speech Contrast your impacts with your opponents.
Explain why your impacts are more important.
Prove that your opponent cannot avoid their own impacts.

15. Activity Find a partner You will debate the following impacts
Work on your own for about 10 min. Then we will have people come up and debate
