Topic Question:
Should we do something to help against deforestation?

For:
The problem is very pressing, and if we don't do something now, it might be too late for rainforests, unique habitats, and global warming.

Reasons:
1.) The cutting down of trees is speeding up global warming.
Fact #1:Trees produce 20% of the oxygen on Earth.
Fact #2: The Amazon rainforest trees are a major part of the fight against global warming.
2.) The rainforests are home to diverse ecosystems.
Fact #1: Tropical forests sustain over 50% of all species.
Fact #2: There are approximately 3000 fruits that are edible and grow in rainforests.
3.) There is no reason to not be replanting the trees that we cut down except laziness.
Fact #1: Some companies replant every tree they cut down, so they aren't contributing to deforestation.
Fact #2: Oregon has a reforestation law requiring landowners to replace trees they cut down.

Against:
The problem isn't big enough to worry about, and devote money to.

Reasons:
1.) The effort would cost a lot of money.
Fact #1: The BBC is reporting on a new study which estimated that current deforestation is costing the world $2-5 trillion per year, and we would probably have to pay more than that to fix it.
Fact #2: In fiscal year 2015, the federal budget in the United States is $3.8 trillion.
2.) A lot of products we use are made of wood.
Fact #1: On the average, everyone uses the equivalent of a tree, 18 inches in diameter - 100 foot tall, every year.
Fact #2: If companies were limited on how much wood they could use, it might make it harder to produce the products.
3.) There are more pressing issues that we should devote time and money to.
Fact #1: Each year, 34,000 people commit suicide, about twice as many deaths as caused by homicide -- about one death per 15 minutes.
Fact #2: The United States has one of the worst records for child abuse among industrialized nations – losing on average between four and seven children every day to child abuse and neglect.

# data[].attributes.body
Is the NBA vs WNBA pay gap fair?
For: It is fair because the NBA plays 48 more games than the WNBA plays in the regular season and they have a way lower attendance rate 35,000 for their games and the NBA has over (100,000). They also only have twelve teams which means that theres a lot of states that only have a NBA team that they can cheer for and not a WNBA which means that not a lot of people watch the WNBA but instead they watch the NBA thats why the NBA makes more money than the WNBA

Against: They should be payed less because they play half the game that the NBA plays and they have a smaller attendance rate for their games there and they have half the amount of teams than the NBA has which means that the WNBA has less fans because there are less teams in less states which means that there is a lot less people that watch their games than the NBA games.
