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
@9VRG59G1mo1MO
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.
@9VM3W6M1mo1MO
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
@9TX85CJ2mos2MO
the uk accommodates to hardly any of the worlds consumption and therefor china Russia etc adhere to the same rules no impact will be made
@9TX3D322mos2MO
Yes but for all greenhouse gas emissions. They should also prove they’re not just passing the emissions to a supplier or customer & must also not claim to be carbon neutral by claiming ownership of other people’s land. Some companies buy up land in other countries & force out local residents to pretend they are carbon neutral.
@9QMY8JM4mos4MO
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
@9QMWTJH4mos4MO
It makes absolutely zero sense to combat global warming when we would just be exporting our work to China with increase to overall productivity.
@9QL4P7K4mos4MO
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.
