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.
@99GYFMH7mos7MO
No, global warming is a hoax/myth
@9F9VNPV2wks2W
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.
@9F53VMX2wks2W
Yes, but only to large businesses and provide more incentives for alternative energy production.
Yes but only for big businesses with high carbon emissions
@9CJLC3GFamily First3mos3MO
they should stay neutral and plant more trees
@9CFH534One Nation3mos3MO
No. Whilst i do believe global warming is a natural occurrence, i do not deny that human activity has likely accelerated this warming period, and i have no issue with renewable energy, however, the amount of carbon emissions predicted to leave Australia will likely make no difference whatsoever as the major emission nations such as China have made no significant changes to their behaviour. Our best option would be to look at periods of cooling and heating and come up with solutions to tackle these situations, such as surviving an ice-age, which will likely require mass fossil fuel consumption with our current technology.
@9BJ8N7D5mos5MO
It should add more regulations over time bit by bit,
@99Z32ZS6mos6MO
Large companies should be regulated to be more energy efficient
@98BDS8X10mos10MO
Make the manufacturers of pollution and plastic etc stop
@97X5PTM10mos10MO
When every country on this planet is onboard
@97TH8BH10mos10MO
No, the government should not increase regulation on carbon dioxide emissions by business. The IPCC have posted carbon dioxide levels in our environment as a major threat to society. The science supporting this is weak at best. Carbon dioxide, which is plant food, is a highly improbable villain.
@96KQRRP11mos11MO
To be honest as long as society grows powerful to do whatever it can its fine
@967ZZPY12mos12MO
I think this is up to one's personal choice and preference, not up to the government.
@95YTRR412mos12MO
Yes, but only if they're using fossil fuels or are hurting the native animals
@95CLZH81yr1Y
Only regulate major pollution companies, and move from there
@HippopiJ1yr1Y
Yes, and a 75% windfall profits tax should be put on all fossil fuel companies.
@9359W531yr1Y
No. Stop wasting money. Make china do it. We are a drop in the ocean
@9347S5B1yr1Y
@933YC3W1yr1Y
Climate change is a joke
@933VHD61yr1Y
Only if the science legitimately supports it.
@933SG5G1yr1Y
Yes, I believe that global warming is a natural occurrence, but there should alternative energy production incentives as well
@9332WX31yr1Y
Yes and don't allow them to pass the cost to low level employees
@932V8HS1yr1Y
Yes but only if it doesn't not negatively impact employees of this business
@92ZJ3TW1yr1Y
No, and stop buying fuel resources from dictatorships such as Russia and the Middle East
@92XV4NZ1yr1Y
The government needs to apply the same environmental regulations on imports as it does on business within Australia
@Kelbev68One Nation1yr1Y
No, and they should stop controlling the weather with geoengineering to implement WEF agenda.
@92WJH261yr1Y
Big business should be hit harder and small businesses left as it is
@92TS33M1yr1Y
I believe Jesus will return before the world implodes from this global warming nonsense.
@92SSLNPOne Nation1yr1Y
No. Climate change is a natural occurrence, and all this will do is cost more money and more jobs
@92SBMCB1yr1Y
Yes and Address overconsumption reducing over production
@92LW3Y81yr1Y
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
@92FBWBT1yr1Y
If the business is contributing to pollution or plastic waste, then regulations should be put into place. I don’t care about global warming.
@92BF95J1yr1Y
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
