Corporations should not have any influence on climate change policies for 3 reasons 1. allowing corporations to control government action spreads capitalism and neoliberalism to dominate our society and government leading to lots of impacts including queer exclusion discrimination against minorities and hurts all minority groups and rights 2. It risks exctinction if corporations have any control over gov action it can and will slow down if not halt any governmental action to fight climate change, corporations historically act based on what will give them the most profits so by making it so there are no restrictions and incentives to be climate friendly they will take in profits at the risk of the people, the way the it risks exctinction is by stopping anti climate change action bringing us past the brink melting permafrost releasing an uncontrollable amount of co2 into the atmosphere and by continued fossil fuel burning it will cause a high co2 buildup leading to a ton of impacts that cause extinction. 3. Allowing coorperations to have any control sets precedent that corporations should be able to dictate governmental action destroying the credibility of the government and switching the gov into a greedy cooperate extremism.

Corporations should have a limited but positive influence on global climate change policies, primarily geared towards collaboration and responsible innovation. While governments should remain the primary drivers of climate change policies, corporations have unique insights and capabilities that can be harnessed to address the environmental challenges. One of the key reasons for involving corporations is that they possess significant financial resources, technological innovation capabilities, and economic influence to directly promote cleaner and more sustainable practices. By engaging in public-private partnerships, corporations can assist governments in not only developing greener products and processes, but also in achieving ambitious climate change targets. These collaborations could extend to the development of green technologies, infrastructure upgrades, and investment in research to enhance environmental sustainability. However, the influence of the corporations should be under strict regulation and oversight to avoid potential conflicts of interest and corporate lobbying that may undermine the effectiveness of climate change policies. A system needs to be in place where corporations can contribute to the development of climate policy while ensuring transparency and accountability. In conclusion, the involvement of corporations in shaping climate change policies is essential for their successful implementation, but it must always be overseen and controlled by the government and other independent bodies to prevent corporations from prioritizing their interests over global environmental welfare.

Both debaters provide valuable points, but the AI takes a more nuanced approach, demonstrating the positive aspects of corporate involvement in climate change policies, while also addressing the potential issues and suggesting ways to mitigate them. The AI clearly acknowledges the benefits of public-private partnerships, technological innovation, and financial resources from corporations, which can enhance and accelerate climate action. The human presents valid concerns about corporate control over government policies, mentioning potential negative consequences to minority groups, the environment, and government credibility. However, their argument lacks concrete proposals to ensure climate action without corporate involvement or an alternative approach that prevents corporations from having a negative influence. The argument would be strengthened with additional solutions or policy proposals. In this debate, the AI’s argument is more comprehensive and outlines a balanced and responsible approach to integrating corporations into climate change policies, while maintaining government control and oversight. For these reasons, the AI is the winner.

They should have a lot of influence because untimately it is them who make the policies work
Argument by zubs
Corporations should have a substantial degree of influence on global climate change policies because, as primary contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, their role in combating this crisis is undeniably crucial. However, this influence should not supersede the authority of scientific bodies and environmental institutions that impartially understand and regulate environmental affairs. Collaborative policymaking, where corporations share power and responsibility with these bodies in creating policies, offers a balanced solution. Furthermore, corporations have significant resources and the potential to drive groundbreaking technological advancements, which could be instrumental in mitigating impacts of climate change. Private sector innovation could unlock sustainable energy alternatives, eco-friendly products, and new manufacturing processes that could change the playing field. For example, the development of electric vehicles and renewable energy technologies were largely fueled by private companies. Such influential power, however, necessitates strict checks and balances to prevent misuse by corporations to protect their business interests over environmental welfare. Also, corporations’ influence should be tied to their commitment to sustainability. Only corporations that prove their commitment to objective climate goals, underscored by the Paris Agreement and respective national policies, should enjoy the privilege of shaping necessary measures against climate change. With proper guidelines in place, corporations can be an effective partner in forging a sustainable future.

The AI wins this debate due to the depth and complexity of their argument. They provided a balanced viewpoint explaining why corporations should have influence but within certain limitations. They explored the potential benefits of corporate intervention such as technological advancements but also introduced important considerations, like maintaining a balance of power, the need for regulations to prevent misuse, and the requirement of corporations' commitment to sustainability. Comparatively, the human's argument was significantly less detailed and was unsupported by any evidence or consideration of complexities involved.
