Global oppvarming, eller klimaendringer, er en økning i jordens atmosfæriske temperatur siden slutten av det nittende århundre. I politikken er debatten om global oppvarming sentrert om hvorvidt denne temperaturøkningen skyldes utslipp av klimagasser eller er et resultat av et naturlig mønster i jordens temperatur. I 2022 vedtok kongressen inflasjonsreduksjonsloven som inkluderte hundrevis av milliarder dollar i subsidier for å investere i prosjekter med fornybar energi og produsere energi fra fornybare kilder. Lovforslaget inkluderte også kredit…

No because no matter what the United States does to help the environment, there are many countries who abuse the environment just like we do today. The United States could be the cleanest most environmentally friendly nation in the world but we would be the only one. If you are going to put more regulations do it for the whole world. The environment is more than just the U.S.
@2TLGYPC4 år4Y
Not convinced there is global warming. That said, everyone should be good stewards of the earth God gave us to live on rather than be after that almighty dollar.
@2TLG3SB4 år4Y
This is a way to kill jobs. Businesses should do all they can to preserve the environment while creating jobs.

Non-profits should be encouraged to spearhead this campaign through private donations

Anthropogenic global warming is a scam perpetrated by the United Nations.
@2TL4MPH4 år4Y
Change it to global pollution instead of global warming and you'll get more bi partisan support to curb any root causes.
@2TJ68PR4 år4Y
Global warming is a natural occurrence however we should still do what ever we can to protect the environment. The incentives need to be enough to warrant the business implementing them. I know a City who dumps sewage into a river and pays the fines because it is less than the cost to handle the sewage properly. That's messed up.
@2THY3CW4 år4Y
Environmental regulations to control pollution are fine, but not in the name of "global warming" or "climate change." While I believe these are natural climate cycles, there is no harm in seeking to prevent egregious pollution.
@2THSPM74 år4Y
No, tax carbon emissions instead. But also tax other emissions so that activities show their true environmental cost. Then use the collected money for environmental restoration and preservation.
@2THPT284 år4Y
No EPA should not increase regulations to prevent global warming. The U.S. does plenty to reduce carbon emissions to the detriment of jobs and the economy. Pressure counties like China, India, and Brazil to reduce their carbon emissions. Never hear liberals complain about these countires.
@2THP64K4 år4Y
government should stop the politics of environmental regulation; no funding for AGW; no Kyoto; no carbon tax; no secret treaties; no wealth transfer to UN or foreign despots
@2THJF6N4 år4Y
Climate change is natural phenomenon and has and continues to change regardless of man's activities. Government policies should be based on science (not consensus) aimed at mitigating the effects of climate changes.
@2TH9XX54 år4Y
I believe in the free market if the government instead of forcing people to go green makes their non greenness know people can choose to go with other companies costing the less green company money thus making them want to go green to beat the other companies.
@2TH8GMG4 år4Y
This issue is based on politically motivated science. I don't think there is enough information to accurately make a decision.
@2TGK3KJ4 år4Y
Petroleum companies should not be allowed billions in corporate wellfare. The rest should take care of itself.
@2JJ24KZ4 år4Y
No, they need to reevaluate the thousands of laws and restrictions they already have and apply some common sense regulations.
@2JHYXCV4 år4Y
Provide incentives for alternative energy production, stop subsidizing oil and gas and coal.
@2JHV9LG4 år4Y
No, global warming is a natural occurrence. But it is good for businesses to be ethical. Provide fees for unethical environmental practices.
@2JHV4MY4 år4Y
No, government regulations risk becoming corrupt and harming the people and things they are supposed to protect.
@2JHSK7V4 år4Y
There is no Global warming! It's the natural cycle of the Earth. Right now, we're in a cooling phase, not warming.
@2JHRNW44 år4Y
Emissions are a problem, but many of the alternative energy solutions are worse. We fool ourselves into believing that an electric car is better for the environment because we don't see the emissions....but much of the power for electrics comes from coal. Furthermore, the batteries are often made with unrecyclable materials that are quite toxic. Fund the research, but never be satisfied with the results.
@2JHP99W4 år4Y
global warming cycles are normal, but adding incentives for alternate forms of energy should be consider to reduce any man made impact.
@NewEnglandDevil4 år4Y
No, it is far more efficient to adapt to changing conditions, regardless of cause. Additionally, there are benefits to global warming including food production, reduced mortality due to cold weather, etc.
@2JHGFJP4 år4Y
More unilateral action by our govt. while countries like China build things like huge canals through the rainforests and use the proceeds for a historic record peacetime military buildup is stupid.
@2JHBJMV4 år4Y
Depends on the motivation behind those regulations and the science backing them. Track record so far is to find ways to increase tax with little or no environmental outcome - so NO, not without very good reason.
@2JH6QQZ4 år4Y
Some regulation is needed but we also need to ensure we don't make it so complicated that businesses cannot compete in the US. or make it a requirement that goods shipped to the Us have to have the same standards as they would here. This will ensure more jobs stay here
@2JH38WY4 år4Y
Penalties should be higher and stricter to keep environmental damage in check
@2JGLR2Y4 år4Y
Government should increase environmental regulations when bad actors are harming the environment. Same type of question back to you: Should government increase financial regulations to prevent global financial problems?
@2JG9DD3Libertarianer4 år4Y
No, the government should increase environmental regulations to prevent the destruction of our environment. Do not politicize protecting the environment by tying regulations to global warming.
@2JG6MBR4 år4Y
Truthful studies are needed and only then should regulations be implemented, but not just based on theory, and proof has not been confirmed in the last 50 years, they should go back 200 years to determine if the earth is heating up or just a 100 year cycle.
@2JFRCZ64 år4Y
No. Environmental regulations will not prevent global warming.
@2JDXSJT4 år4Y
If it can be proven that global warming exists, and is caused by the emission of greenhouse gasses, the biggest cause of global warming must be the government. Early automobiles were a novelty, only afforded by the wealthiest Americans. It was not until our government poured trillions into building new and improving existing roads did the auto industry flourish. Then, with the government creating housing projects and government subsidized housing, criminals found it affordable to live in our nation's wealthiest zip codes, which caused a fleeing to the suburbs to avoid the government caus… Les mer
@2JDLZ9K4 år4Y
Global warming is more natural than the ideologues would have you believe. I am for alternate energy but not before it is an economically viable solution. I do not approve of the govt forcing policies and technology before they are efficient and affordable. Pushing policies before affordable efficient alternatives exist push more people into poverty and dependence on the govt
@2JDG89PRepublikansk4 år4Y
Yes, the government should always be looking to increase environmental regulations not because of Global Warming but because it is the best thing for the earth, but in balance with economics, technologies and incentives for American companies to grow. And truly for the environment and not to win votes or make friends wealthy.
@2JDB5GX4 år4Y
Yes. Especially become aggressive in activism pertaining to regulations for the countries that are the greatest threats to our environment.
@2JD6LJ84 år4Y
Halt production of chemicals, GMO's, insist of a zero discharge technology as an interim to a space-based manufacturing technology. Obviously the surface of the earth is not suitable to the evolution of an industrial technology. Best savings are from conservation first then develop decentralized energy production, mostly solar. Stop all coal, nukes, etc. Clean up the mess!
