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.

No, the current government is over-regulating businesses, provide more incentives for alternative energy production instead
@9T3DKPQ2wks2W
No, rather than constrict on celebrities who abuse their power and single-handedly increase emissions.
@9R5HV3V2mos2MO
We obviously have to do something but to keep blaming individuals while the energy companies are literally getting away with murder is wrong after all individuals already have a big enough reason to not use too much of anything and that being the cost.
@9QMY8JM3mos3MO
No we should not add en Regulations on businesses especially small businesses as this is what can put them out of business in which will create a lot more unemployment which means more people will be on universal credit. I will end up spending more money.
What we need is good all great tax reductions or incentives for businesses that use use renewable energy like solar panels or win turbines
@9QMWTJH3mos3MO
It makes absolutely zero sense to combat global warming when we would just be exporting our work to China with increase to overall productivity.
@9QL4P7K3mos3MO
Environmental policy should balance between regulations, penalties and incentives. We need a greater focus on the big areas such as agriculture and energy production and greater circularity.
@9QJZ3QM3mos3MO
First the government needs to do the calculations on current energy consumption & realise nuclear is a viable solution to bridge the gap between fossils and green energy.
@9QJTCFB3mos3MO
Yes, it provides more incentives for alternative energy production and greater personalised assistance on how to do it.
