Air pollution laws have a negative effect on the economy. The laws make it more costly for a business to operate. Once it is feasible there will be more of it.

Reducing meat consumption is not an effective way to combat global warming. This is a PETA attack full of horse crap. Eat your burger!

Governments should not create mandatory recycling programs. Free Country. Can't make me do it. My ex-hubby has worked next to the Miami GSA and sees the recycle trucks come in and drop the recycle items right in with the regular trash. When they actually start recycling the products then I will make the effort to separate my garbage. I have been waiting 15 years.

There is not a link between global warming and the rising intensity of natural disasters. It's all Natural and Normal for the cycling of the Earth. Every generation goes through the same thoughts. Read history.

Plastic grocery bags should not be banned. How am I going to get my groceries home and then what do I use to take the cat poop out in?

The carbon tax system would be more effective at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon trading is sometimes seen as a better approach than a direct carbon tax or direct regulation. By solely aiming at the cap it avoids the consequences and compromises that often accompany other methods. It can be cheaper, and politically preferable for existing industries because the initial allocation of allowances is often allocated with a grandfathering provision where rights are issued in proportion to historical emissions. In addition, most of the money in the system is spent on environmental activities, and the investment directed at sustainable projects that earn credits in the developing world can contribute to the Millennium Development Goals. Critics of emissions trading point to problems of complexity, monitoring, enforcement, and sometimes dispute the initial allocation methods and cap.

Climate change will have a positive effect on the economy. Well, we will either sell more bathing suits or winter jackets depending on what the climate changes to. Good thing about the American Economy is that it adjusts to the demand and makes it a positive thing.

The benefits of recycling do not outweigh the costs. My ex-husband works at the City of Miami Police Dept's Motor Pool and that is across from the Waste Management Bldg where they dispose of the garbage and the recycleables IN THE SAME LOCATION! THEY ARE LYING TO US about the RECYCLE PROGRAM!

The U.S. cannot meet all of its energy demands within 10 years through carbon-free sources. Probably not but I am hopeful. It would take way too long for the transition. Much longer than 10 yrs. So I must answer no.

States should be allowed to adopt tougher fuel efficiency regulations than the federal standard. States Should Be Able to Adopt their own fuel efficiency regulations as Every State has different issues, environments and populations.

Polar bears should not be listed under the Endangered Species Act. I don't believe they are endangered. I am saying "no" due to my internet research on the matter. I am sure they need to be regulated and I am sure Alaska has a handle on it.

The U.S. government should provide incentives for manufacturers to build fuel-efficient cars. Same as the incentive for making a better food for the farmers. However, don't call it subsization because that equals welfare. I notice another question that said the farmers are already subsidized so I agreed on giving to the organic growers too. If it

Global warming cannot be stopped. Can you stop the world from evolving? No I don't think so. Well, I take that back... our nuclear deviced can.

Global warming is not a problem primarily caused by humans; there is no conclusive evidence that the Earth is warming unnaturally. Basically, it is the natural process of the earth. Watch the History Channel!

The EPA does effectively protect the environment. The EPA is a regulation based entity and yes they have regulated appropriately without over regulating.

The U.S. government should increase the national gas mileage standard. Americans have to drive further to get jobs these days.

The U.S. should expand oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. It will create more Jobs for Americans!

The government should not regulate greenhouse-gas emissions. The State takes care of that. No need for bigger government. Please do your job as Governement and focus on NATIONAL SECURITY!

The U.S. should not have signed the Kyoto Treaty. NO!

Global warming is not a problem that humans must take actions to address. I am freezing my buttocks off! There is no global warming! Even if there is let the natural cycle of the earth continue as it always has! Government should stay out of that.

The U.S. should allow drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). If it is in America and will create American Jobs then Do It!

Congress should lift the ban on offshore oil drilling. If it is in America and will create American jobs - DO IT!
