Video: BP Demo Debate from IDEA Youth Forum
False analogy: compares violent crimes to protect the environment, with foreign relations. These two are too dissimilar to be an applicable analogy.
Material fallacy: no cited authority on the claim: war is the most environmentally harmful action that you can take.
Unrepresentative evidence: uses story of Shell Corporation in Africa, hurting environment and hurting people’s lives. This example does not reflect all corporations across the board.
Slippery slope fallacy: argued that allowing violence to protect the environment would lead to people killing anti-gays because of their beliefs.
Straw man fallacy: misrepresents the Government side by saying they are advocating militias taking over water sources and selling water to poor people, when the Government case only advocates violence against the sources of environmental harm.
