COUNTERPLAN NOTESThere are a few options for a counterplan: -GENERAL CP’S -Bikes CP: Riding bicycles apparently solves for climate adaptation. -States CP: This card alone doesn’t really do much, so I’ve added it to the other states CP’s below. -XO CP: Just one card – the president does the plan.
-States CP – Roads Specific: The 50 states separately invest in maintaining and fixing the roads and highways. Utt has some pretty good reasons as to why the FG itself shouldn’t work on the highway. -AIRLINE EMISSIONS SPECIFIC CP’S -Market-Based CP – General: This is mostly just a time-suck kind of CP. Market-based approaches to solving airline emissions include a cap-and-trade program or an emissions tax – you, conversely, could just use this card as block solvency extensions to either the c-and-t CP or emissions tax CP. -Cap-and-Trade CP: The USFG institutes a cap-and-trade program in order to solve emissions problems in the US – these emissions problems are within the airline industry. The cap-and-trade CP is probably the best CP in this file. -Emissions Tax CP: The USFG institutes an emissions tax in order to solve airline emissions. -Subsidies CP: The USFG issues incentives to reduce airline emissions. -Tech Standards CP: The USFG tells airline industries which tech they can and cannot use in order to reduce emissions. -States CP – Cap-and-Trade Specific: The 50 states do the cap-and-trade program. You can also use the generic cap-and-trade CP cards in your speeches and read the states solve cards in addition to that.
Bikes CPText: The United States Federal Government should enforce investment in bicycle development.Cycling reduces carbon emissions with multiple benefits – UK provesAdonis, 9 (The Lord Adonis, UK Secretary of State for Transport, Department for Transport, “Low Carbon Transport: A Greener Future A Carbon Reduction Strategy for Transport, July 2009, http://www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm76/7682/7682.pdf) Cycling is a viable alternative to car journeys for ¶ many short trips. As well as reducing emissions, ¶ cycling can bring additional benefits for health, ¶ reduced congestion on our roads and improved ¶ local air quality, making our towns and cities more ¶ pleasant places to live. We are providing ¶ investment and support to 18 Cycling ¶ Demonstration Towns and Cities across England.¶ Our Sustainable Travel Towns programme has pioneered an approach that ¶ includes a combination of travel planning, improved information and marketing, as ¶ well as organising and providing new travel services. Following the success of this ¶ programme, in May 2009 we announced that large urban areas across England are ¶ being given the chance to bid to become the country's first Sustainable Travel City.¶ We are also committed to developing a National Cycle Plan to further promote ¶ cycling as a mainstream form of personal transport. We will complement this with ¶ a new active transport strategy, laying out plans to encourage low carbon ¶ transport options that also promote personal health and wellbeing. States CPText: The fifty states of the United States should each increase its transportation infrastructure investment for climate adaptation including changes in design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure.States can adopt a climate adaptation plan.Meyer et al. 09, (Michael Frederick R.

National Cooperative Highway Research Program. 5/6/2009 http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/nchrp/docs/NCHRP20-83%2805%29_Task2-3SynthesisReport.pdf) Twelve states have developed or are developing some kind of climate adaptation plan, and in ¶ another eight states an adaptation plan was recommended in the state Climate Action Plan (CAP) ¶ (see Figure 4-1). In most cases, these adaptation plans are an outgrowth of climate action planning ¶ that is primarily focused on mitigation (reducing emissions). ¶ Typically, these climate action plans are led by the governor’s office, or by the state Department of ¶ Natural Resources. In many states, the Governor issued an Executive Order that established a State ¶ Commission or Sub-Cabinet to develop a State Climate Change Plan. These states formed multistakeholder working groups to broadly address climate change impacts to the human and natural ¶ environments, with transportation as one of many components being addressed by these working ¶ groups. Climate adaption is performed by the statesCEMA and CNRA April 2012 [http://resources.ca.gov/climate_adaptation/docs/APG_-_PUBLIC_DRAFT_4.9.12_small.pdf California Emergency management agency and California natural Recources Agency April 2012] State actions will play an important role in strengthening California’s resilience to projected climate impacts and associated secondary consequences. However, many of the development characteristics most important for reducing climate risks, such as land use, are locally controlled. Local and regional jurisdictions are critical collaborators in preparing for unavoidable climate impacts. The degree to which communities are at risk to secondary climate impacts is influenced by local conditions including culture and community values, economic base, ecological setting, and local resources. As a result, there is no single “right” adaptation strategy. The best strategies for adapting to climate change must vary with local needs and context.
