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.

The government should crack down on the massive multi national business such as BP which create a disproportionate amount of harmful pollution. It is a con to believe that it is the fault of the ordinary man. It is not, instead greed from companies such as BP should be punished.

Smaller businesses cannot afford this, however larger businesses should be taxed if they cannot reduce carbon emissions
@9LYZPSK4wks4W
I don’t trust the government to approach scientific matters like climate change without bias or an agenda.
@9LY4CR34wks4W
Yes but the money gained should be solely and direction spent on environmental issues. The money shouldn’t be added to one big government spending pot.
