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.

No, global warming is a hoax/myth
@9NZJPD32mos2MO
Yes and no, depending on the businesses and what they do they should put regulations to each and everyone
@9M8CT843mos3MO
Instead of regulating businesses, why not plant more trees to absorb carbon. That can reduce carbon emissions.
@9LG79674mos4MO
No, until there are more alternative energy productions available regulations should not be increased, companies, should be incentivised to be looking for alternative energies.
