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…

@9CCDFLZLibertarian 7mos7MO
No, allow the free market to decide any energy alternatives worth to consumer satisfaction and plutocrat's profits.
@9TZV4PF8mos8MO
Yes, although funding needs to be directed to larger Nuclear Power programs across the US. Nuclear energy is the solution that the US has been keeping in its pocket for far too long.
@9K662341yr1Y
Indeed.
Stricter environmental laws are essential to halting climate change because they lessen pollution, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and safeguard natural ecosystems. Governments can encourage sustainable practices and promote the shift to a low-carbon economy by imposing strict regulations on industries and endorsing cleaner technologies. More stringent laws can also make polluters answerable and encourage international collaboration to tackle the pressing issue of climate change.
@9FSBSGWConstitution2yrs2Y
No, green energy produces more carbon emissions and harms the environment more than carbon emission based energy does
@9FP2BPN2yrs2Y
Yes, and provide more incentives for public transportation to get closer to a carless society.
@9DKZGMT2yrs2Y
Some part of the government should help.
@9DFXT8N2yrs2Y
Control the large corporations and wealthy rather than the middle and lower class
@9JBCJNM1yr1Y
At this point global warming is going to just keep on happening because of everything that we have put into place already that add to global warming and all the natural processes that also add to global warming.
@96P35S83yrs3Y
Yes, and provide more incentives for alternative energy production, and they should talk with other world leaders to help solve the climate change problem
@962VHQN3yrs3Y
The government needs to ease in a long-term plan to help slow climate change, while also allowing the workers of carbon emission businesses to be able to find new jobs and not make energy cost go up because it's clean.
@95T8D9Y3yrs3Y
The government should spend more on nuclear power.
@95T22663yrs3Y
People probably won't list or follow the regulations
@95LZ9BT3yrs3Y
Yes, But only when the regulation will prevent serious environmental problems, the primary focus should be on companies that heavily pollute and produce high co2 emissions.
@94CNCKH3yrs3Y
No, the government should invest to instead find the source of the cause instead of targeting the source that began it. This is because the world is still relying on these resources to uphold their maintenance and economy.
@93CCQRLRepublican3yrs3Y
No, and 'climate change' is a hoax intended to raise taxes and shift political power
@92XT2R2Independent3yrs3Y
No and should look into permaculture in the agriculture industry with incentive to switch from conventional and dangerous herbicide and pest control stances. Heal the soil, heal the air. Cows and cars aren't causing climate change. Bad soil and cutting down trees is.
@8XXK7MD3yrs3Y
The climate is fine leave it be.
@8X55KJK4yrs4Y
Begin a push towards building nuclear reactors while also having regulations on nuclear waste, safety design features, and safe and specific reactor locations.
@8WXSKZZ4yrs4Y
Yes, only if the government will pay for the things that are needed because not everyone can just afford to buy new things to make climate change better.
@8WXSKZZ4yrs4Y
Yes, I'm for it only if you pay and buy what we need because not everyone can just afford to buy something new to help climate change.
@8W265LL4yrs4Y
We can't really do much now at this point. What's done is done.
@8VYYHNK4yrs4Y
No, only approach this issue on a global scale and work with World organizations to combat this issue.
@8V463VH4yrs4Y
Yes, focusing on the development of Nuclear energy in cleaner and more efficient way
@8V2GWMQ4yrs4Y
Probably for companies (especially big ones) and stuff since they are the main problem. They pollute like crazy.
@8TXW9D74yrs4Y
yes but not when it prohibits necessary use of carbon immisions like forest clearing, which prevents destruction more long tearm. (and yknow, fires make more smoke than a car)
@8TX77K94yrs4Y
you should tax companies on the amount of pollution they put, not the consumer
@8TWLTFRRepublican4yrs4Y
Yes, without harming the already fragile industry that feeds the nation, agriculture
@8RFTWDT4yrs4Y
I think we should take precautions but im not 100% sure global warming is real
@8R5KBRJ4yrs4Y
Focus on corporate pollution and how restructuring those businesses will affect the economy.
@8QL9TDJ4yrs4Y
No, because we had an Ice Age and now we don't. The world changes over time. This is a natural occurrence.
@8P6MM595yrs5Y
@8LV97GR5yrs5Y
You have regulations. Now give incentives to the private businesses. Also, quit pretending it doesn't exist just because you take it ro another country.
@8JK4V3P5yrs5Y
There should be regulation, but we should be careful not to over regulate in case of standing in the way of progress which could be more beneficial to the people and enviorment
@8F2T5KK5yrs5Y
No, unless other countries are going to be held to the same standards
@8DPFV5Y5yrs5Y
Whenever a company screws up (example being oil spills) the government should just raise the amount of money that the companies pay as compensation to better discourage accidents like this.
@8DF5QCJ5yrs5Y
Not really sure about this one
@8DB839R5yrs5Y
Yes, but only gradually so as to not entirely disrupt current jobs. Provide incentives
@8D3K38F5yrs5Y
I think a change will only happen within individuals doing their own part, even if the government enforces regulations you can’t force people to do better for the environment, but definitely protect the wildlife.
@8CYLWCZ5yrs5Y
@9B7M5X42yrs2Y
yes but not extreme like no cars, banning cars
@999R3622yrs2Y
The government should stick with the current regulations but should provide more incentives for businesses and companies to switch to alternative energy production.
Yes, and provide alternative energy incentives and careful regulation over-watching plant and animal life.
@98PTTGG2yrs2Y
Can be improved a little bit
Regulate planting and more female trees and ratioed genre of trees
@97T5BDX3yrs3Y
Only as long as there is undeniable evidence that the change will fix a climate issue and will not affect the lives of citizens.
@97JS3563yrs3Y
No, because they just moving the place of gas to one location.
@97FRNR73yrs3Y
@979SBTKRepublican3yrs3Y
Slowly and slowly should start adding things to help climate change overtime.
@96XMH5G3yrs3Y
it seems very odd question
@96K5NY33yrs3Y
No, Large Increase to tax Emissions to individuals.
@966TBGY3yrs3Y
I don't think they should although they should inform people more on the effects of what we do in our everyday lives and how it affects climate change. Then from that point people can make their own decisions to continue or stop.
@95SZXC73yrs3Y
@92YHQCV3yrs3Y
Yes, and provide more incentives for alternative energy production, and maybe also tax carbon emissions too if that helps prevent climate change
@8NT473WConstitution5yrs5Y
Yes, but slowly over time to decrease the harm on the economy and tax carbon emissions as well.
@8N8PPDN5yrs5Y
No, because humans are not the cause of climate change!
@8GCW5GLRepublican5yrs5Y
Yes but only to where it would not hurt our economy
@8XMFL27Republican3yrs3Y
No, the climate is solar driven, and not caused by man.
