The cap and trade system would be more effective at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. I don;t know enough about either to be solid, but it seems like the cap and trade would fall into a bartering arangement that would beget creative solutions and potetnially new ideas....

The benefits of recycling outweigh the costs. Long-term: A seed will not be a tree, tomorrow. Recycling technology can innovate and create an entire new industry that once never existed that can beget even more areas of technology.

Reducing meat consumption is an effective way to combat global warming. When you factor all that is required to bring a piece of meat to your table if that was cut by 25%, there would be a dramatic reduction in green house gases, plus a dent in our obesity epidemic.

Global warming cannot be stopped. Hell no, Greenland will be the next Saudi Arabia.

Air pollution laws have a positive effect on the economy. They keep people healthy so they can be worked to death longer on less pay. Go ask any coal miner.

Polar bears should be listed under the Endangered Species Act. Saving the polar bears means saving the environment that harbors them.

Government should regulate mercury levels in the environment. A cat prefers his tuna clean!

Plastic grocery bags should not be banned. Where else does one deposit soiled cat litter??? Seriously.

Congress should not lift the ban on offshore oil drilling.

The government should regulate greenhouse-gas emissions. Create a punitive tax rate for criminal corporations who trash the earth to make a profit and REWARD corporations with lower tax rates who actually innovate ways to reduce their outputs of greenhouse emissions. Capitalism works both ways; reward the inno

There is a link between global warming and the rising intensity of natural disasters. Everything is made up of energy and all energy is connected through interaction and reaction. So, what we do does have an effect on this earth, even when it's beyond our own humble ability to quantify or control it.

The federal government should not release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. We should begin implementing a national telecommuting work policy of two days per week. This substantially reduce our use of petrol.

The U.S. government should provide incentives for manufacturers to build fuel-efficient cars.

Global warming is a problem primarily caused by humans; higher average temperatures are partly or entirely the result of human actions.

The U.S. should not allow drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. (ANWR). Maybe a better solution would be developing Green technologies like wind and solar power.

Global warming is a problem that humans must take actions to address.

The U.S. should not expand oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.

Global warming cannot be stopped. Hell no, Greenland will be the next Saudi Arabia.
