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. In 2015 Alan Kelly, the minister for the Environment, published the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill which outlined several goals that will make Ireland a “low carbon” economy by 2050. Opponents argue that strict laws on carbon emissions will have a severe effect on the Irish economy since many of the regulations will inflict heavy costs on the agricultural industry. Proponents argue that Ireland should join other developed countries and do its part to limit carbon emissions by 2020.

I believe regulations should be within reason, unlike the growing number of unrealistics regulations.
@9DM9X3Q8mos8MO
Climate change doesn’t exist, left wing democracy uses it as a mass propaganda machine to control the population
Only if they are willing to contribute to the additional costs of the change
Yes, on the large corporations and industrial scale pollutors, not on small businesses
@9C5MSX7Independent11mos11MO
I think the government should make it more affordable for buissneses to be envoirmentaly friendly
@9BJNKFB1yr1Y
No, carbon dioxide is the gas of life. Regulations on packaging and pollution into water and land are vital and not enough. Other harmful emissions into the air from chemical factories need to exist eg to denature chemicals should be a basic regulation. Carbon passports are based on a lie and hypocrites tyrannically driving policies to control humans for anti human agenda
@99QKTNR1yr1Y
Nope Nuclear Energy could be an alternative
@993JGGK1yr1Y
I would say yes if ideal and would not raise demand but diminish supply
@98H3FLL1yr1Y
Tax carbon emissions instead
@98DWMMM1yr1Y
Yes but it depends on the regulations.
@97YN924Fianna Fáil1yr1Y
More insentives for green enegery. The farmers can't bear all the burden hedgerows need included in co2 emissions counts. Expand rail not roads.
Yes, and provide relief for smaller family run business and increase pressure on chain franchises
No, our country is too small and does not make as much of a footprint as other countries
@8TRGSX23yrs3Y
Doesn't matter the EU will dictate what we have to do.
@8TP9BD23yrs3Y
We should criticize China more for their lack of environmental regulation
Yes, I believe global warming is a natural occurance but I also believe that our carbon emissions should be reduced to help the planet survive in the long run.
@8RWRYNM3yrs3Y
Big corporations should have more environmental regulations but SME's should be excluded from this
@8RRCQK53yrs3Y
yes but only for larger buisness
@8RLNYM83yrs3Y
Yes, and we should rethink our production/consumption model so that we make sure to decrease carbon emissions
@8PFH4YX3yrs3Y
As long if there is an alternative then yes
@8JMQMQK4yrs4Y
Ye able to add some kind of change by not full on
