If we want humans to continue living on this planet, we need to step up and take care of the big issues in the world. If we continue our ways of throwing trash into forests and distributing uneeded amounts of oil, we may run out of very valuable things like coal that run our society. That's why we need to turn to renewable resources like wind energy and solar energy in order to salvage oil, coal, fossil fuels, and natural gas.

 @9FDD7ST from Missouri commented…6mos6MO

Instead of removing current methods we should increase funding and ideas for Renewable energy sources that not only aren't a burden like the current ones , but also can be easily phased In and cause a benefit Instead of a burden on the average consumers.

Wind energy is massively killing birds and wildlife

Solar is extremely expensive

Water is also killing fish and animals we need to eat and affecting the ecosystem

The idea our current ideas and methods are some how better is a delusional mindset considering we are ignorant of the ramifications of using these methods.

Currently we…  Read more

 @9F972XL from Utah disagreed…7mos7MO

It is the privilege and responsibility of every human to care for the world in which we live and leave it better for the following generations. With the increase of information and technology working together a solution should available to solve the issue of how to dispose of waste.

 @9FBFYWKRepublican from Connecticut disagreed…7mos7MO

It is sometimes hard to believe what you hear about climate change as there are two vastly different sides of the debate. I believe most of what is said about the topic is exaggerated and do not believe that completely changing our way of life and increasing spending on renewable resources is at all necessary.

 @6avinfrom Maine disagreed…1mo1MO

Of course it's not necessary. Because it doesn't affect you. We have much more to gain (resources, profits, stability) by incrementally applying proven methods that strengthen the ecosystems that allow us to breathe and eat. Ultimately, it's not about us. It's about future generations thriving.

 @9F9GBVHRepublican from Colorado disagreed…7mos7MO

Climate change has been a fact for billions of years, CO2 is good for plants, therefore there is more green than ever.

 @6avinfrom Maine commented…1mo1MO

The issue with this statement is that there isn't more green than ever. Firstly, plants have multiple needs like other nutrients, water, and sunlight. Plants don't grow more and healthier because you give them a single nutrient like how any human wouldn't do well off a single nutrient. Secondly, deforestation is still a problem. Older and richer ecosystems like rainforests are capable of absorbing more carbon and putting it in the ground.

That's why it's so important to properly preserve our national parks (among other reasons), only cut down trees that are grown to be cut down - opposed to clearing old ecosystems, and preserve the high seas which provide about 50-80% of our oxygen

 @9F5GN4V from Texas disagreed…7mos7MO

There are hard facts and proof everywhere that it is occuring. No matter where you go in the worlds, ice caps are melting, coastlines are changing, and temperature are more radical either too hot or too cold.) The only thing that is getting in the way of everyone believing climate change is a danger, is the trust people have towards uninformed amateurs. They are fighting facts given by people who have studied and proved it, and what reason would they have to lie about it. Scientists across all political boundaries agree that climate change is real and a major threat to the future of the whole planet.

 @9F8BM7J from Washington disagreed…7mos7MO

Look, man. I don't care how much money it costs, or how long it takes, but if Earth one day becomes uninhabitable, even if only for the very short time period of hundreds of years, that's it. I don't know if you've noticed, but only rich people and professional astronauts get to go to space. Everyone else is going to die. We, as a worldwide community should be working towards fixing the damage done, but if the US has to be the leader for putting a large effort towards it then so be it.

 @ZestfulPoultryRepublicanfrom Florida disagreed…7mos7MO

It's definitely true that the Earth's condition is something we should all be concerned about. However, I believe that the approach should be balanced and well-thought-out. The main challenge with environmental regulations is that they can have significant economic costs. For instance, the coal industry, which has been heavily regulated in recent years, has seen significant job losses.

Moreover, while the U.S. taking leadership is a noble idea, climate change is a global problem. Even if the U.S. completely cut its emissions, it wouldn't be enough if other big polluters like…  Read more

 @9F85PW7disagreed…7mos7MO

Climate change is something that is going to significantly impact the world, and it is our duty to minimize this as much as possible.

 @SheepishKoalaLibertarianfrom District of Columbia disagreed…7mos7MO

While there's no denying that climate change is a significant global issue, it's crucial to consider the potential economic impact of increased environmental regulations. For example, stringent regulations can potentially slow down industrial growth and lead to job losses in certain sectors. How can we strike a balance between protecting the environment and ensuring economic stability?

  @VulcanMan6  from Kansas commented…7mos7MO

Jobs/industries that perpetuate climate disaster should be abolished in favor of green alternatives. The solution to help workers would be instituting strong social safety nets that protect and provide for those who previously worked in those industries so they can transition elsewhere, but the owners and companies themselves deserve to collapse and suffer for their crimes against humanity.

 @9F7VNPK from Michigan disagreed…7mos7MO

Climate change is slowly but surely ruining our planet and without change we could without a doubt cause great damage for generations to come.

 @9F7VPL9 from Missouri disagreed…7mos7MO

If this is only about the science, and not a political boogey-man, then why does every solution involved bigger government, world government, and socialism?

They ignore how much the sun affects our climate because they cannot yet convince us that giving them more power will fix the sun.

 @9F7R52B from New Jersey disagreed…7mos7MO

We have just experienced the hottest summer on the planet in recorded history. Animals are going extinct, Coral reefs are dying, and we are at a precipice and we need to act accordingly.

 @9F7RV4R from Florida disagreed…7mos7MO

Every one should realize the earth is changing and we need to stop it. There is scientific evidence of climate change

 @9F8BCWQ from California disagreed…7mos7MO

Your children and grandchildren will be living in a world trying to repair past generations mistakes.

 @9F7R4F6 from Wisconsin disagreed…7mos7MO

climate change is very important and its scientifically proven that the gas and fossil fuels are ruining this planet

 @9F7NKWF from Michigan disagreed…7mos7MO

How are we supposed to live on and in an environment that is dying? How will we be able to grow crops, raise animals, or even be able to hang out outside without a mask? The earth was here before humans and we have and are destroying it more and more by the minute because of people's carelessness.

 @9F7V6YS from California disagreed…7mos7MO

Although it may not affect you now, just think that global warming could get so bad that you may not even have grandchildren or your grandchildren wont be able to have grandchildren.

 @9F7V3PC from Texas disagreed…7mos7MO

I believe that climate change is very obviously occurring in the United States. There is no reason to believe that it does not exist on the earth. The earth is rapidly increasing temperature-wise and melting habitats for a lot of species. Polar bears on are the edge of going extinct. When a species dies or goes extinct it affects other species and so on. Face the facts, the pollution and amount of greenhouse gases being put into the atmosphere every day are killing are planet, and species, and making the lasting of our planet decrease in years every day.

 @9F7QY86 from Wisconsin disagreed…7mos7MO

i think we need to do as much as possible to start preventing climate change because its effecting the environment and the animals and making the earth dry and hot causing more forest fires and the smoke gets trapped into our atmosphere because of the fossil fuels we put into the atmospherics causing it to be thicker so no heat can escape which also cause our air quality to be bad when there are forest fires.

 @9FG46J8  from New York disagreed…6mos6MO

Melting of the icebergs, the arctic is clearing fading away and we are doing nothing to help, millions of animals are losing their home.

 @9FG5K5P from Texas agreed…6mos6MO

I agree. I read somewhere that a lot of land will be flooded beyond repair if Antarctica completely melted.

 @9FG54X8agreed…6mos6MO

we are just watching these animals die while we have the power to help we just aren't putting our full focus on them.

 @9F76TM6 from Texas disagreed…7mos7MO

Climate change effects us all and future generations, if its not a priority right now, there will be worse problems later.

 @9F76YKG from New York disagreed…7mos7MO

Scientists say it’s happening we should trust them, we can see it in our day to day lives. If we don’t take action now we can never get back the lost time.

 @9F7WBJTPeace and Freedom from California disagreed…7mos7MO

I would say are you trying to kill this world awe need to stop climate change because its destroying the planet its melting antarctica and it will rise the water level if climate change does not stop

 @9F7H5CC from Texas disagreed…7mos7MO

The world is obviously getting hotter and starting to change so we shouldn’t wait until last minute due for money and other political purposes

 @9F6XX9H from North Carolina disagreed…7mos7MO

Climate change if nothing is done about it could destroy the planet as we know it and the effects we are already seeing today. I believe that climate change is one of the best chances of eradicating humans

 @9F6SZM2 from Nebraska disagreed…7mos7MO

Investing in renewable energy and a cleaner world will not only save the environment but be environmentally stimulating.

 @9F73RQNDemocrat from California disagreed…7mos7MO

If people can't see that climate change is a severe problem for the entire world and is affecting our oceans, wild life, enviorment, droughts, weather, etc. Then people need to open their eyes.

 @9F6BRQS  from Tennessee disagreed…7mos7MO

It is scientifically proven that climate change is real. If we do not care about it, then we do not care about our future generations and earth. This is one of the biggest problems that needs to be changed because no issue will matter if our earth is dying.

 @9F8G2X2 from Oregon disagreed…7mos7MO

We are already beginning to see some of the effects of climate change in hotter summers and more dangerous weather like the hurricane in California.

 @9F5YN5K from Illinois disagreed…7mos7MO

That if we don't worry about climate change now, we aren't thinking about the future for our children and so forth. The world is going to end if we don't take care of it. This should be the biggest argument.

 @9F6424T from Indiana disagreed…7mos7MO

Scientists have proven that climate change is a real thing that is affecting the planet and have told the public that something needs to be done to counteract it. The biggest causes of climate change issues have to do with big companies and the government. There's nothing that the regular citizen can do to effectively change things. So for the sake of everyone, we need to get the government to put in regulations to try to fix and/or further prevent climate change issues.

 @9F84WFXIndependent from Minnesota disagreed…7mos7MO

Climate change may just be natural, but our planet needs to be taken care of for future generations to thrive. If not, we might as well all die here.

 @9F59TM9Democrat from Oregon disagreed…7mos7MO

With all the worldwide proof of escalating climate change, from once in 100 year floods, to massive wildfires, to years of drought, to crop failures, dying forests, island countries facing collapse.......if you can't look at that and see we are facing a worldwide climate crisis, then really you're delusional and nothing anyone says is going to change your mind.

 @C1v1cDutyRonRepublican from California disagreed…7mos7MO

While it's undeniable that we are witnessing extreme weather events, it's important to consider that our planet has experienced shifting climates throughout history. For instance, the little ice age from the 14th to the 19th century was a period of cooling that occurred after the Medieval Warm Period. This does not dismiss the fact that human activities are contributing to climate change. However, it does argue for a more nuanced understanding of the factors at play. Rather than simply increasing regulations, a more comprehensive approach might involve investing in green technology, promoting sustainable practices, and cultivating global cooperation. What are your thoughts on these alternatives to increasing regulations?

 @9F84DXN from Illinois disagreed…7mos7MO

As a young person, I have to live through the coming years and want to preserve this special and unique planet.

 @9F5DG5D from Oklahoma disagreed…7mos7MO

While there can and should be debate on how to fight climate change, there is scientific evidence of its existence. The majority of scientists who have studied this topic, have concluded that climate change is being caused by human action, and that if we do not act, we will see negative consequences, that we may not be able to recover from. How we should act may be in question, but if we should, is absolutely not!

 @9F679WD from Pennsylvania disagreed…7mos7MO

I would say "Carbon Dioxide Traps Heat, Factories across the world are emitting this gas, Factories across the world are manufacturing, transporting and working with glasses and chemicals, that are being emitted from the Co2 from the Semi-Trucks to the Sulfur from a mine in a 3rd World Country these glasses are warming up the planet, where I live I am seeing less and less winters and less and less snow. Coincidence? I think Not. Climate Change is warming and cooling different parts of the planets and making things worse.

 @9F5Q2P2Independent from California disagreed…7mos7MO

The government should increase environmental regulations to prevent climate change for a number of reasons. Firstly, a changing climate, much like a changing society, is a turbulent state to be in. Americans will be threatened by increasingly violent hurricanes, floods, and wildfires and the situation will become chaotic as events become hard to predict well enough in adbance to make adequate preparations for the protection of the people. Secondly, we will lose our health and our natural wealth without more regulations. The skies over large cities will remain smoggy, rivers and watersheds wil…  Read more

 @9FG6VY7Forward from Pennsylvania disagreed…6mos6MO

Climate change is a growing issue in the world and needs to be dealt with early on so the future isn't at risk.

 @9FF6896 from Illinois disagreed…6mos6MO

Not just as a nation, but the whole world needs to focus on fixing the environment. It is critical that we start to fix what we messed up now so we do not cause a mass extinction event. It does not matter the cost because if we do not fix it immediately, we will all be dead and money does not matter anymore.

 @9F7TJF3 from South Carolina disagreed…7mos7MO

Even if it doesn't effect you, you should consider the long term effects of our actions on future generations

 @9FJ6D2W from California disagreed…6mos6MO

By deciding to not increase environmental regulations to prevent climate change it becomes a case about the stability of our earth and its future generations of life. We need to protect our earth and prevent climate change.

 @9FDRZMFDemocrat from Texas disagreed…6mos6MO

The fact that we can do something to slow or stop this overwhelming threat to our world is enough to have little less convenience in life. To want our future generations to be able to live in a clean livable world.

 @9FDSKXWSocialist from Washington disagreed…6mos6MO

Climate Change as we have seen it has been accelerated rapidly by human intervention. To say that global warming is a natural occurrence is in opposition to science and peer reviewed facts that ought to be objective.
