Global warming, or climate change, is an increase in the earth’s atmospheric temperature since the late nineteenth century. In politics the debate over global warming is centered on whether this increase in temperature is due to greenhouse gas emissions or is the result of a natural pattern in the earth’s temperature. In 2022 Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act which included hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies for investing in renewable-energy projects and producing energy from renewable sources. The bill also included credits to help factories retool to turn out electric vehicles and awards tax credits to help homeowners upgrade their homes with more energy-efficient products. It gives a $7,500 tax credit for purchasing electric vehicles, although with conditions that could make it hard to qualify. Proponents of the bill argue that it encourages business and individuals to adopt renewal energy and move away from fossil fuels. Opponents argue that the bill lacked funding for natural gas and nuclear energy which are more reliable and cheaper to produce.

Yes, and provide more incentives for alternative energy production
@ISIDEWITH8yrs
@ISIDEWITH8yrs
No, provide more incentives for alternative energy production instead
@ISIDEWITH8yrs
No, tax carbon emissions instead

This question is wrong, as the real problem has always been corruption/cronyism and failure to enforce property rights. Regulations are written by cronies more to the benefit of polluters than to our environment or property owners. Regulations have actually made it harder to sue those who harm our shared/un-owned resources, stealing property value, health and life.

government needs to regulate the pollution of the planet, not just for climate change; saving the planet is unnecessary, the planet will save itself. However, humans are capable of making the earth inhabitable for themselves.

Shame on us all if we do not!! Religion and politics talks about God. I can't believe this is how we show our gradituid for all the beauty bestowed to us on this planet. We are the Caretakers. Religiously this is an abomination to God to treat this world and all living creatures and each other so badly. Doing the right thing is to at least make an effort in thanks to Grace. For all
@4YTBLYB2yrs
Yes, but not for climate change. I think that is unfounded for several contradicting reasons from both sides of the issue. However, the human toll through cancer causing agents is alarming and should have been addressed with more importance years ago.
@4YXF23X2yrs
Climate change is the single most impressive issue today. Govt measures should include education of youth and climate change deniers. Furthermore govt. should stop subsidizing animal agriculture which is responsible for serious greenhouse gas emissions
Yes and make littering illegal to a fine

I view global warming as a consequence for our actions because of my religion. We have done it to our earth. We spend pointless money on it, but the government never says how we are going to solve it because there isn't an answer.
@58T5S5M2yrs
@58CYBXX2yrs
No, not until we have the technology to make it less of a financial burden
@98WQJJD6hrs
No, and abolish the Environmental Protection Agency
@98WQ5RQ7hrs
No, educate the people/businesses and let them make decisions themselves.
The government should increase spending on nuclear to prevent large amounts of plastic waste and other discharge. But climate change is a natural occurring events.
@98WL94710hrs
It depends on the intention. If it's going to impact the citizens then no.
@98WL7P610hrs
yes cause its getting hot
I have no opinion on this topic at this time.
@98WKG8V11hrs
change how big companys work but leave my cars alone
@98WJW9DIndependent11hrs
Yes, but be very careful not to damage industry too much.... Only go green when we can afford it. I think we can, but I'm just a stupid kid.
@98WGBJB13hrs
No. Climate change doesn’t exist.
@98WGB47Republican13hrs
i think we should have stricter laws for certain things but but for cars i think we should it the same because your not gonna fix the issue by going fully electric
@98WFPC7Republican14hrs
Climate change is ancient myth
@98W8XV5Republican1 day
No, gobal warming is fake
@98W7T6Q1 day
Have more government spending to find alternatives instead of regulations and tax carbon emissions
@98W7LCH1 day
No, this occurs naturally but we need to be consistence of our actions in different ways.
@98W74881 day
No, but more into helping the earth clean
@98W4MGVRepublican1 day
Yes, but not too many regulations to the point people are unhappy.
@98W4G2B1 day
Some regulations but nothing big.
@98W42J4Republican1 day
I think they should increase regulations on some things but they have to haven a valid reason
@98W2LKP1 day
yes and no, it's natural but also can be prevented from littering, cutting down too much trees, taking homes away from animals.
@98VZRDZ1 day
No. But banning of all plastic production should commence.
@98VYDPVRepublican1 day
Doesn’t really matter, it’s impossible to stop climate change globally.
@98VXMBC1 day
Yes, eventually, but right now we do not have the technology to make it efficient
@98VWX491 day
Do not really have an opinion on this one
