Two students in the debate club are preparing arguments for and against the use of nuclear energy. Each student will have five minutes to present an argument based on scientific evidence.
The student who supports the use of nuclear energy is considered a proponent of nuclear energy.
The student who does not support the use of nuclear energy is considered an opponent of nuclear energy.
The proponent presents his argument first. His argument is based on the following key points.
Nuclear energy does not emit any greenhouse gases.
Nuclear energy does not contribute to global warming.
