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.

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.

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

Concentrate on poverty and financial division in uk and start listening to women. Then stop the wars.

Yes, but businesses also need to create their own regulations and commitments to reduce carbon emissions
@9J49RVN3mos3MO
I believe it is a natural occurrence, though we do contribute to causing problems around the world through stuff like pollution, which should be regulated. How much we contribute, in terms of carbon emissions, is something I'd have to look more into.

It depends because if you reduce the amount of Carbon dioxide then plants will produce less oxygen and then carbon dioxide would be a limiting factor to plants.
