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.

Focus on reducing animals for food, entertainment and clothing instead of destroying economic progress.

No, eco laws are currently strangling the UK and moving the problem else where. Eg. We are looking to ban petrol cars because ‘eco friendly’ reasons, and they suggest EVs are the way to go. Then we get other countries to mine and manufacture the cars which generates enormous amounts of CO2. We then criticise these countries for their environmental impact - discouraging them from doing business with us. We are just strangling ourselves.

No, they’ll waste tax payer money on it and only enforce rules on small businesses due to corruption / political alliances.
