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 the U.K. Prime Minister pledged that the UK will triple funding for climate change adaptation programmes from £500 million in 2019 to £1.5 billion in 2025.

Yes depending on industry, but they should take time on implementing Green laws to prevent too many people from being unemployed

Yes. Big cooperations shouldn't be allowed to exist as they are a massive threat to the environment. This is all due to capitalism. Capitalism is a threat to the environment
@B25L8JS2mos2MO
No that’s ridiculous, if the amount of trees grew with Industrial Revolution there would be no problem
@9VRG59G4mos4MO
Too complicated a question to answer in a box format, but generally the government should try and place negative externalities on the people who create those externalities.
@9VM3W6M4mos4MO
I think the government should not put pressure on the small, privately owned businesses as in the grand scheme of things they will produce nothing in comparison to these larger companies like shell in terms of their effect on the climate but I do think they should offer grants to small businesses to encourage them, but heavily recommend these to large companies or sanction them if they don’t
@9TX85CJ5mos5MO
