What is the impact on this argument?

Energy permitting reforms with judicial review are passing now. Mackler from June writes that permitting reform has become the top priority. The table has been set for comprehensive permitting reform. Both parties have expressed their commitment to negotiating a bill at the end of the year with judicial reform.

Affirming ruins this effort by raising costs and creating legislation. Bogage 24 writes that border security threatens Congress and the White House struggled to reach a deal on long-term energy legislation. Congressional negotiators disagree over immigration in the U.S. Mexico border that has derailed legislation throughout Congress stymied negotiations in spending talks. A proposal to tighten security led to Biden voicing concerns, but Republicans rejected it. 

This ensures deadlock. Kight 24 writes that Congress lawmakers can’t agree on a financial plan. Border money is tied up in raging political debates, causing a significant slowdown. Overcoming deadlock costs political capital from energy reforms. Sensiba 20 writes that if you spend all your political capital, you can’t get votes together for legislation, causing them to not be implemented. 

Judicial review in permitting curbs climate change. Reams 24 writes that permitting needs judicial review. Frivolous litigation paralyzes any infrastructure development, resulting in days and costs. It hampers our resources necessary for clean technology, resulting in significant higher global emissions.

There are hundreds of projects in line, negating is key. Otherwise, Wilcove 23 writes that under the current system, we will only achieve about 20 percent of reduction in overall greenhouse gas emissions.

Absent action, climate change causes death. Renaud 23 writes global warming will be responsible for the death of one billion humans over the next century.

What is metaweighing? Give an example of why magnitude is more important than probability.

Weighing about the type of weighing. Magnitude is more important than probability because stopping any potential for an existential crisis is more important. Better safe than sorry.

What is the link on this argument?

West Asia is a playground for narcotrafficking. Specifically, France 22 finds that a drug called captagon has spawned an illegal $10 billion industry that not only props up the pariah regime of President Bashar al-Assad, but many of his enemies. Captagon is now Syria's biggest export. Martin 22 furthers that Captagon production facilities are under the control and protection of the Syrian president and military and political elites, who are looking for extra cash amid the difficult economic situation. 

However, US policy solves. Sennett 22 finds that the Captagon Act is an important first step. It sets the stage for the United States leading an initiative on this issue by first establishing that inter-agency process to monitor Captagon. The US is the key to international cooperation to solve Syrian trafficking. Sennett furthers that a broader international response will not happen without leadership from Washington. Europe is not going to take the first step unless the US is keen to do so. Indeed, Dagres 21 continues that US officials possess a wealth of actionable information concerning Syrian narco-trafficking. A “name and shame” campaign can bring overdue attention to Syria’s captagon industry. Such information is vital to much-needed research on the drug trade and can support better enforcement outcomes. Captagon is even spreading across the Syrian border. Felbab-Brown 22 finds that the Sinaloa Cartel already has connections with important Middle Eastern drug traffickers. 

The impact is nuclear escalation.

Katulis continues that Syria’s civil war has[s] U.S. and Russian combat operations, raising the risk of miscalculation. Meyer 18 warns that if the two countries clash, it could quickly escalate to a nuclear level, [as] Putin [has] boasted new nuclear arms capable of dodging U.S. defenses.

US policy solves. The Captagon Act is the first step of an initiative that would establish an inter-agency process to monitor Captagon as a whole.

What is the link on this argument?

The US’s retreat from West Asia is making Saudi Arabia insecure. Makhlouf 22 finds that the US is losing the favors of allies. Since the withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Biden administration has been perceived as unreliable

Maksad 22 furthers that for Saudi Arabia, the lack of a meaningful American response to Iran-sponsored attacks was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Saudi Arabia is now looking to develop nukes. Guzansky 15 finds that the perception of America as an unreliable ally and threat to its own survival will convince Saudi Arabia that it prefers to pursue its own method of deterrence by turning to an off-the-shelf option. Stancati 18 confirms that the Saudi Government already planned to increase military expenditure 2,500%. 

Thankfully, affirming solves. Maksad 22 finds that Should the Biden administration renew its commitment to regional alliance , Riyadh will revert to cooperation. The U.S. can signal its renewed commitment to the region by designating Riyadh more anti-missile defense systems, stepping up cooperation, and providing early warning against attacks. All these measures are purely defensive, and won’t draw the U.S. into new conflicts. 

Saudi Arabian proliferation causes a nuclear war. Edelman 11 finds that if Saudi Arabia were to acquire nuclear weapons it would be more prone to miscalculation. Given this likely vulnerability, the close proximity of states in the Middle East, and the very short flight times of ballistic missiles, any new nuclear powers might be compelled to “launch on warning” of an attack. 

Kroenig 12 confirms that newly nuclearized states have a 950% increased probability of conflict. This war goes global, as Russel furthers that once such a war starts, events would likely develop a momentum all their own. Such an outcome would be an unprecedented disaster for the entire world. Starr 15 terminalizes that a nuclear war would Cause extinction.

The Biden Administration renewing its commitment to regional alliances will allow for a step-up in cooperation and allow for early warning.
