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. Australia is currently looking to reduce emissions to 26-28% on 2005 levels by 2030.
@99GYFMH1yr1Y
No, global warming is a hoax/myth
@9LG79671wk1W
No, until there are more alternative energy productions available regulations should not be increased, companies, should be incentivised to be looking for alternative energies.
No. China, India and the US produce more waste and carbon emissions than all other countries combined
@9K8TZN2New Liberal2mos2MO
Yes, however the local focus must shift to include Air Pollution and Human Health and rather than Carbon Credits a program must be put in place to cost all externalities and make them the sole responsibility of companies and their investors - not communities and governments - via bonds and other mechanisms.
I think they should enforce it slightly but the technology to do so has not been made so we have to wait until it is made
Enforce the regulations slightly but I don't think we should be too harsh, still apply more rules in place though.
Depends cost of living should be consider. Where possible business try do keep the carbon footprint within range. Such a businesess be awarded.
No, It should be working with states that are yet to improve their environmental regulations to a standard that is in line with Australia before we increase ours. China and India have far lower standards than Australia. working with these states will have much larger impacts to the slowing of global warming than a country as Australia.
@9F9VNPV7mos7MO
Yes, through a mix of light legislated regulations on business activities as well as incentivising in alternate, environmentally friendly energy production alternatives such as wind, hydro, solar and nuclear.
@9F53VMX7mos7MO
Yes, but only to large businesses and provide more incentives for alternative energy production.
@96KQRRP2yrs2Y
To be honest as long as society grows powerful to do whatever it can its fine
@967ZZPY2yrs2Y
I think this is up to one's personal choice and preference, not up to the government.
@95YTRR42yrs2Y
Yes, but only if they're using fossil fuels or are hurting the native animals
@95CLZH82yrs2Y
Only regulate major pollution companies, and move from there
@HippopiJ2yrs2Y
Yes, and a 75% windfall profits tax should be put on all fossil fuel companies.
@9359W532yrs2Y
No. Stop wasting money. Make china do it. We are a drop in the ocean
@9347S5B2yrs2Y
@933YC3W2yrs2Y
Climate change is a joke
@933VHD62yrs2Y
Only if the science legitimately supports it.
@933SG5G2yrs2Y
Yes, I believe that global warming is a natural occurrence, but there should alternative energy production incentives as well
@9332WX32yrs2Y
Yes and don't allow them to pass the cost to low level employees
@932V8HS2yrs2Y
Yes but only if it doesn't not negatively impact employees of this business
@92ZJ3TW2yrs2Y
No, and stop buying fuel resources from dictatorships such as Russia and the Middle East
@92XV4NZ2yrs2Y
The government needs to apply the same environmental regulations on imports as it does on business within Australia
@Kelbev68One Nation2yrs2Y
No, and they should stop controlling the weather with geoengineering to implement WEF agenda.
@92WJH262yrs2Y
Big business should be hit harder and small businesses left as it is
@92TS33M2yrs2Y
I believe Jesus will return before the world implodes from this global warming nonsense.
@92SSLNPOne Nation2yrs2Y
No. Climate change is a natural occurrence, and all this will do is cost more money and more jobs
@92SBMCB2yrs2Y
Yes and Address overconsumption reducing over production
@92LW3Y82yrs2Y
Yes but also include research into green energy - in a way which doesn't harm the economy too severely and too quickly
do not understand question
@92FBWBT2yrs2Y
If the business is contributing to pollution or plastic waste, then regulations should be put into place. I don’t care about global warming.
@92BF95J2yrs2Y
need to tax overseas imports the same if not more
Carbon emissions are only one variable in a large system that is impacted by many factors such as; urban expansion (concrete and steel in place of areas which once had grass etc) which absorbs more heat from the sun than what was present before development
No, but it can be decreased by 10%
@8ZV7G7T2yrs2Y
Yes and redistribute any earnings back to taxpayers
@8ZRJGYF2yrs2Y
No more legislation, yet encourage it with incentives. However, Be more accepting to the possibility of climate change being largely natural.
@8ZQRRNS2yrs2Y
No, and I believe global warming is a natural occurrence for the most part. However there is no reason why we shouldn't also provide more incentives for cleaner energy production as well.
@8ZJ7TLS2yrs2Y
How about actually attempting to solve the problem instead of using it as a stream of income?
yes, but focus mainly on larger corporations who have the most impact rather than smaller, struggling businesses.
@8Z5YDPTIndependent2yrs2Y
Yes, even if global warming happens naturally, accelerating it isn't good either.
@8Y7C785Independent2yrs2Y
Just stop government funding for existing fossil fuels
@8XSCKF22yrs2Y
They should try their best to but shouldn't be enforce if required
@8R7SXT33yrs3Y
to a reasonable degree, but for CO2, methane & CO, not just Carbon particulates emissions.
@8R3GQSQ3yrs3Y
keep it the same at the moment
@8QX72643yrs3Y
just enough to not kill the world
@8QTH7VM3yrs3Y
yes, but only to some companies because construction make quite a bit of carbon to make buildings
@8PHQC363yrs3Y
I'm here for a good time, not a long time. So its not a issue that I see as relevant.
