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… Read more

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
@93H9FXV12mos
Yes and make littering illegal
Yes and make littering illegal to a fine
@984945L6mos
Yes, increase tax incentives for clean energy development and use, implement a carbon tax then gradually deregulate
implement a carbon tax then gradually deregulate
Interesting idea. However, a carbon tax would disproportionately affect low-income families and small businesses. They would have to pay for the increased costs of goods and services as companies pass down the tax to consumers. Additionally, deregulation has proven to be effective in industries such as energy. For example, after the deregulation of the energy industry in Texas, the state saw a significant increase in the use of renewable energy sources. What do you think could be a possible solution to this issue?
@985HMZS6mos
Big companies should be held more accountable than individuals
@984378N6mos
Create regulations for the countries giving the greatest contribution to the issue and enhance alternative assimilation practices.
The places they should focus on is India and China, where the majority of the CO2 emissions come from.

Yes and no, global warming is a natural occurrence, yes as in let's find alternative sources, but do not take my gas car, and let's stop using solar its ineffective.
et's stop using solar its ineffective.
While it is true that global warming is a natural occurrence, current scientific evidence suggests that human activity, such as burning fossil fuels, has significantly accelerated the process. Solar power is actually a very effective alternative energy source, especially in areas with high levels of sunlight. For instance, countries like Germany and China have been able to generate large amounts of electricity through solar power.
But I agree with you that there should be a balance between environmental regulations and individual freedoms. It is important for the government to find ways to incentivize people to switch to alternative energy sources, rather than just banning the use of certain technologies. What do you think could be done to encourage people to switch to cleaner energy sources?

The government should be very limited in funding and regulations. Give more power to the states. People will be more free.
@979LZZ6 5mos
Isn't the entire problem caused because certain people are freely polluting and whatnot? That's literally the kind of thing that regulations are designed to stop people from freely doing. You literally *shouldn't* be "free" to contribute to further climate collapse...
Honestly, I feel that we should use more environmental regulations, but not go to the extreme. Plus, this will also be good in the long-term since renewable resources will be far more profitable and effective than non-renewable ones.
@989WRVL6mos
No since some climate change could be good for the environment.
@989NZ4P6mos
No but regulations to stop polluting the oceans with plastic but climate change isn't as bad as the media depicts it , amd the world naturale changes climate and temperatures over time
@979LZZ6 6mos
The entire point is that it's getting progressively worse, that's why scientists are literally begging leaders to make immediate changes before it continues to get worse, and although the earth's climate naturally changes, literally all evidence clearly shows that human intervention has greatly exacerbated the problem, likely beyond repair. To deny human-caused climate change in 2022 is simply denialism at best.
@Typical-Transhum… 8mos
Yes, and provide more incentives for alternative energy production
@99MFTPG3mos
Yes, and nationalize all industry
Yes, while climate change is a natural occurrence we as a population have sped it up and reversed it. By doing this we are harming the natural process that Earth has to rejuvenate itself and allow for new growth. There is more to be done to further prevent the downfall of our planet than society knows.
@9865KMX6mos
Yes, and provide incentives for alternative energy production and criminal prosecution for companies that destroy the environment.
@984G4WF6mos
Yes tax carbon emissions and provide more incentives for alternative energy production.
@984C8WX6mos
I find it hilarious that individuals who fly private planes across the nation for a meeting that could be held over the phone, like to berate the public for driving a car. Remember we are the problem, not them.
@984B6QD6mos
Yes, and tax carbon emissions, provide more incentives for the development of clean energy, fund climate resilience projects, and phase out fossil fuel usage in energy and transportation as quickly as possible.
@9842RF96mos
Tax the rich and China on their emissions.
@983H8XN6mos
Yes, but still tax the carbon emissions
@97WQ66K7mos
humans can not stop climate change
@97PYW6W7mos
Yes, and put a price on carbon
