The Motion: This House Believes The West Has No Right to Impose Environmental Standards on Developing Countries
Kriti Joshi opens the case for the opposition, as the second speaker of six in the debate.
The individual in this video is a competitive debater, and therefore the views expressed may not necessarily represent his/her beliefs.
The motion was defeated.

She was speaking in the AC hall, and all of those who were clapping have ACs/heaters in their homes and they have more electricity consumption than any person from developing nations. Historically CO2 is emitted by developed nations, and now developed nations want to share the responsibility to cope up with climate change. India and other developing countries were not part of that historic emissions. Now questions arise. How many developed countries provide funds for renewable transitions? Why do developed nations have issues with India providing subsidies for solar panels? What is the per capita emission of India or any developing countries? why western or so called developed nations don't want to change their lifestyle? why are they forcing developing nations to limit their growth?

I am sure the other 3.5K (majority) likers don't have any problem with how she speaks, stands and delivers the speech. Only dumb people have concerns to these. You know there goes a saying "Empty vessels make the most noise". It takes a lot to stand there and deliver a speech written by herself. Debate is the flow of information and bring about a positive change and whether it done through reading or memorizing, same thing. Also monotonic reading is a different case. She was interacting with the audience too. And she has a British accent because she lives there. Don't criticize when you can't be close enough to her. I think she really deserves a clap.

ironically you wasted your comment defending her against invisible bogey men who you fantacize were critiquing her. the irony lies in thevfact that there isnt a single person in existence who can tell you anything at all about the weather next week, yet with precisely zero evidence given, this speaker said herself she hopes to terrify people into agreeing with a point of view she knows nothing about. but then again, this is the situation with every word and democratic parrot recites.

1. The west declared China and India as developed before they proceeded to trade with them. 2. The west gave away rail networks to sell cars just so it could sell oil. 3. Transition to e-means of transport is way faster in 'developing nations' the only plausible obstruction being the west. The video doesn't show both the sides of view, which would have lead to a proper perspective. Taken for its face value, its information is tardy, vague and way out-of-context.

If you only plant the tree in this random plane that hasn't had anything planted on it for years, you might have to question how fertile the dirt is, the microorganism that lives in it rn, how much water is in the dirt, whether the tree will have a bad affect on the surrounding ecosystem or even consider whether the tree is suited for the climate. There's so much that goes in to it and the amount of manpower, dedication, considerations and money is not something we can just ignore.

The point was that Mercury, despite being closer to the sun is 3 times cooler than venus because CO2 in Venus's atmosphere exceeds that of Mercury.(gases like CO2,CH4 etc are greenhouse gases that trap heat energy of the sun leading to global warming).She is pointing towards the change of balance that our unbridled growth is bringing about where most of the CO2 already sequestered beneath the ground is being released back into the atmosphere.

it's not about what is placed far from the sun...its the uniquue feature every planet has..mercury doesnt have green house gases like co2 ch4..but venus has co2 and ch4 content greater than the earth so that makes the hottest planet..venus cant have a change as its their feature but if i talk about earth the % of co2 rising is man made

[@joepublic3933]

Great isn't it? The number of people who say "this isn't a debate- she's just reading notes!" They've obviously gone a long way these scholars.... not far enough though to understand that before having a debate, someone needs to say something to debate about! They must think a debate is just people shouting at each other at the same time. Then again, this is understandable, as it's what is often shown on TV, especially when it comes to politics!

[@compilationstuffs9412]

Yeah presenting India in a bad way

[@JustTakeAMoment]

Lots of inaccuracies in her opening statement. Firstly, Venus is less than 70 million miles from the Sun and Earth is on average around 93 million miles from the Sun. Carbon, in Earth's atmosphere is comprised of around 0.042% Carbon Dioxide whilst Venus comprises 95% Carbon Dioxide. Mercury doesn't have an atmosphere so heat can't ever be trapped on the planet so if there is nothing to heat, then it merely is the temperature of the Sun's rays as they reach the planet surface, on Mercury. Mercury's temperature varies a lot, it can be as hot 400 plus Celsius but also really cold on the surface facing away from the Sun. Because the planet rotates very slowly, it's day is longer than it's year so it's average temperature is very reasonable when you average these out as a result of an extremely thin, almost nonexistent atmosphere. Also, the density of the atmosphere on Venus is 90 times that of the Earth. All these factors have a major impact on what can happen where. The Earth would struggle to get to 0.2% Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere, due to the volume of life which is carbon based, that is the reality regardless of how much carbon was ever released from the Earth. If all life was vapourised on Earth, what would happen, who can say. Humans cause more damage trying to fix things than letting nature take it's course. They destroy perfectly balanced ecosystems and plant palm oil plantations for biofuels. We are cause and effect of all things wasteful and it is refuse which is the Greatest threat to our planet along with trying to save it. We must produce less waste and travel less. Speaking of which, I only do necessary journeys and most of my travel is by cycle, unlike the politicians that claim to want to save the planet and tell us all to use our cars less and don't travel. Meanwhile, they travel all over the World without impunity, expecting to be heard, despite being two-faced Vogons. You might want to check out The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

If we see about the climate change or so much carbon in the air the major cause of these r the developed countries like UK...they did so much industrialization insted of thinking about the climate and becomes developed... while we r seeing the developing countries following the same path for being developed then we start caring about the climate change..🤷🏻‍♂️ but if we think the major cause of the climate change then these are the developed countries (not the developing countries ) which already produced enough carbon in the air...if the developed countries really cares about the climate change then they should provide enough technology and resources for the developing countries which they have so that developing countries can take control on the production of the carbon so the new generation takes the first step towards the healthy environment...Thank you 🙏🏻 lots of love from India❤️🇮🇳

developed countries should put at least $25 trillion for finghting against climate change

[@yashrajtejpal1034]

Contribution of developing nations in climate changes we are facing today is very very less compared with that of developed nations. It's nice thought that developing nation cannot do the same mistake already done by developed one's. But you cannot just keep developing countries in the same list of climate change sinner, which I feel has been did by over exharation of problems in India.Indeed We need a sustainable way by which developing countries could grow without any contribution toward climate change. Kudos for her confidence and boldness.

Climate change is a natural occurring process that is clearly apparent in the studies of historical climate accounts. This, ofcourse, does not mean that our contribution to environmental pollution has not accelerated and exasperated this process. Let us, as a society, not be polarised in approaching such a challenge. Rather, let's be united in achieving feasible strategies to counteract our own carbon footprints, individually and collectively.
