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 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.

the energy business used is only the energy the governments went to war over why should people pay for the government’s mistakes and greed

I dont see why uk shoukd be so strict when round the world Germany China etc and polluting like mad, we are so small in comparison
@9JX79N73mos3MO
I believe that both more policy enforcement and incentives are due, however, I am unsure of the current extent/effectiveness of current U.K. policies, and this factor's proportion in relation to emissions/dangers to the environment. What I can say is this: I believe incentive is key for getting genuine circumstance correction on the end of large institutions, and reward is necessary.
@9JPRHMF3mos3MO
Dependent on the economy and its viability. It’s not a black and white answer HOWEVER ideally the best way to reduce carbon emissions is to incentivise not force
@9JN6LNV3mos3MO
Concentrate on poverty and financial division in uk and start listening to women. Then stop the wars.
