Nature is a threat to humans

Round 1

Wang: "Dear friends,

"Nature is a threat to humans", this phrase could stand for a broad terminology. Especially the word nature, in Cambridge dictionary, it refers to all the plants, animals and other things on earth not created by humans; events or processes not caused by humans. So if we take that definition, then one can't argue that nature is absolutely harmless to human existence, supported by the theory of evolution, where 98% of species have extinct in the past four billion years, due to revolutions in the natural world. so that would not be in the spirit of this debate.

On the other hand, if you're arguing whether the nature and it's potential to harm has been modified through human habitation or not, then this side of the house would argue that the existing nature has been heavily damaged through destruction and pollution. This is because of human-caused biodiversity loss and climate disruption gain ground. We need to keep our sights clear and understand that the measure of a threat is not a matter of whether it is made on purpose, but of how much loss it may cause. It's an ancient habit to go after those we perceive to be evil because they intended to do harm. It's harder, but more effective, to "go after," meaning to more effectively educate and socialize, those vastly larger numbers of our fellow humans who are not evil, but whose behavior may in fact be far more destructive in the long run.

The opposition's stand is clear, we believe that nature is modified by humans' habitation, and these changes in environment cause harm. However we need to better adapt ourselves to the everyday changes in the natural world to minimize our loss."
