Global opvarmning, eller klimaforandringer, er en stigning i jordens atmosfæriske temperatur siden slutningen af det nittende århundrede. Indenfor politik er debatten om global opvarmning fokuseret på om denne stigning i temperatur skyldes drivhusgasudledninger eller om det er et resultat af et naturligt mønster i jordens temperatur.

Hvilke personlige værdier styrer dine meninger om regeringens rolle i reguleringen af forretningspraksis for at håndtere klimaændringer?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Hvis en stor lokal arbejdsgiver forurenede dit områdes luft eller vand, hvordan ville du så forvente, at regeringen ville reagere?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Hvordan opfatter du balancen mellem jobskabelse og miljøbeskyttelse i forbindelse med strengere emissionsbestemmelser?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Hvilke ofre ville du være villig til at gøre i din livsstil for at sikre et renere miljø for fremtidige generationer?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Kan du tænke på en tid, hvor regeringsindgreb førte til et positivt resultat for samfundet, svarende til hvordan øgede reguleringer kunne hjælpe miljøet?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Hvis dine yndlingsprodukter blev dyrere på grund af miljølovgivningen, hvordan ville det så påvirke dine købsvaner?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
På hvilke måder mener du, at små virksomhedsejere bør tilpasse sig nye miljøregler, der har til formål at reducere emissionerne?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Forestil dig en fremtid med ren luft og vand; hvordan kan strengere miljøpolitikker i dag hjælpe med at realisere denne vision?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Har du nogensinde mærket virkningerne af forurening i dit eget samfund, og hvordan kan stærkere regler forhindre dette?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Hvordan ville din hverdag ændre sig, hvis virksomheder havde strengere regler for at bekæmpe klimaændringer?

If Ontario can show an economic future for Solar then I would listen to a "Business Plan". I may consider it a viable investment if it can be proven. I have no interest in subsidizing power we sell to the USA
@3BDWDFBKonservativ3 år3Y
The problem is that the government only cares about what looks on paper.
Yes it sounds good to say, "if we increase an imaginary environment tax, businesses will change" but that isn't the case in reality. The change needs to come from the top and needs to be given to the businesses whom in return, give it to the people... You don't truly care about the environment anyway with all your faith in Monsanto, how does one trust your decisions?
@3BDMX253 år3Y
Where it makes sense both economically and comparatively to other industries such as coal and other countries regulations.
@3BD8ZXP3 år3Y
Mandate energy companies putting a moderate percentage of profits into renewable energy sources.
@3BCZWSY3 år3Y
In some instances there should be greater environmental protection - oil sands. There should be incentives for self regulation, environmental protection actions taken by firms and for alternative energy.
@3BC2FSD3 år3Y
Provide incentive but do not force it on businesses because it effects everyone. New businesses should have a requirement for alternative energies on startup and should get a kickback if they do decide on it and since they do not need to pay as much for running costs, they should lower their prices to their consumers or put money back towards their business under a five year term depending on the type of business (If they deal with consumers directly or not). The ones that do not decide to change have a limit of 5 years to get the funds for alternative energies or face closure. Small busines… Læs mere
@3BB2J8Z3 år3Y
Increase regulation on large polluting companies and provide incentives for renewable energy but still supporting oil and gas
@3B94P7Y3 år3Y
Yes but not so much in regards to prevention of climate change, which I believe is a natural occurrence, how ever the environmental regulations should be in place to ensure that we do not poison the land, water and air for our children, grand children and their children.
@3B87WQH3 år3Y
Rigorously enforce the regulations we already have. Ensure the same rules apply to Canadian companies and stakeholders including companies that makes contracts with Canadian companies when they are outside of Canada.
@3B6LF8R3 år3Y
We have enough legislation. What we need is enforcement!
@3B66S6G3 år3Y
Increase regulations increases chances of companies leaving the country. Invest more into nuclear energy and greenhouse gases will decrease significantly
@35FHLX73 år3Y
No, The government is our biggest polluter, it's hypocritical and more of a do as I say, not as I do. The private sector should be incentivized to pursue these solutions themselves
@35CCP8S3 år3Y
No, I feel we have no responsibility to the earth or future generations and we are entitled to use the world in whichever way we see fit. This enables our quality of life to increase whilst maintaining a more realistic view of the human condition as one that is temporary and should be enjoyed as much as possible for its duration.
@35C4SG53 år3Y
The federal government needs to enact fair, negotiated regulations and enforce them with integrity and sufficient funding. I suggest taxation to businesses should be based on how much oversight they need.
@35BV8SX3 år3Y
Environmental protection through government regulation is necessary. However this doesn't mean an increase in regulation - it could mean a more careful application of current regulation or even deregulation. It ain't an easy answer guys.
@356FCJ73 år3Y
On one hand, we should be trying to keep the Earth clean and healthy. On the other hand, most of us will be dead before it affects us.
@355KJTK3 år3Y
We don't need more we need better.
@34XQXCS3 år3Y
There should be regulations to benefit the environment (i.e. Singapore's buying out on cars >10y.o) that can be helpful to the environment in the long wrong however they are not too straining on the lifestyles we are accustomed to living
@34XJKJD3 år3Y
Complete moratorium on all non-renewable natural resources in Canada until such time as sovereignty is regained in the banking system and the CAD is at parity with the USD. Moratorium on dumping toxic waste anywhere in Canada as well as its export until a proven non-polluting disposal method is found and approved.
@34V2Q883 år3Y
Yes. The government is the Public's watchdog. Environmental regulations are crucial to the safety of our world. However, this does not mean that the government should look for funds to do this. It should be their mandate on behalf of the citizens of the country. There is no room for the ability for corporations to bribe government officials.
@34QC7HP3 år3Y
The federal governments in all developed countries should adopt a carbon credit card for all individuals and businesses based upon a head count and revenue respectively. Each carbon based transaction (like your airmiles card) gets recorded in a declining balance. Those who don't use (typically the less financially secure) can sell their credits in an open market. Each year the available credits drop by 3%.
@34L5ZV63 år3Y
place environmental regulations only on businesses that are known to cause higher levels of impact on the environment
@34KSCLSKonservativ3 år3Y
We should be similar to US, if not we drive business out if the country and we'll lose jobs.
@34J9R9N3 år3Y
Government regulation under capitalism isn't possible.
@34HTVNV3 år3Y
The government should pursue such a mandate in a way that does not discourage economic growth and plague local and weaker businesses that may or may not have as large as an impact on the environment as larger and more intrusive companies. Thus the increase on environmental regulations should be on a case by case basis, according to the valued opinions of professionals within the country (and maybe even abroad). Incentives could be given, but not in a way that makes the government seem as if it is unable to take a hard line. There is certainly a fine line to be walked here.
@34D6N5T3 år3Y
No, we have some of the highest standards and regulations in the world and have already set the bar for other countries to meet, let others start to catch up
@344LFNC3 år3Y
As a physicist, I don't believe that global warming is caused by the green house gas effect but by the production of heat by all processes. Therefore, using alternative energies is actually less efficient as they produce more heat and have other environmental issues involved with their use, many of which are never spoken about in the mainstream media. The best method would be to cut back on all energy consumption.
@33ZQ7WK3 år3Y
With the unequal response Globally, what's the point? It's just a money grab with very little effect. Unless it's forced on China and other major polluters, it just puts us at a disadvantage in Global trading. We need employment in this country and forcing new taxes and costs on Corporations won't help!
@33ZN6993 år3Y
I believe global warming is a natural occurrence, but I also believe that we should be good stewards to the earth and take care of it, so incentives should be provided for companies who use alternative energy sources.
@33STNYT3 år3Y
Why focus on businesses? Economic incentives that effect all persons are key, and among them should be rewards for environmental innovations and r&d money for the greening of the economy. Government has to manage these issues. There is no other power to check the greed and laziness that business and citizen alike are prone to.
@33769RH3 år3Y
push for a global standard so that every country is on a level playing field. imposing regulations on Canada only will make it less competitive in many business sectors compared to other countries without these standards that have lower costs as a result.
@336FMX63 år3Y
Yes, especially for international companies that are using up our resources, there should be high premiums on water.
