Have the governments of the world taken any big steps to stop the energy and climate crisis?

Question

Yah, yah, please take this seriously unlike Frank here. I you're to biased and mean to answer the climate one least answer the one about energy.

Answer 1

Cooling was a crisis back in the 70s. Now it's warming. Tomorrow it will be not enough change. The only constant thing in life is change.

Answer 2

There is no climate crisis. So there's no need for governments to do anything.  

Answer 3

The government of Mars has done nothing and will do nothing.

Answer 4

Yes by burning fossil fuel we are emitting Carbon dioxide into Atmosphere that is causing Climate Crisis.

To reduce emissioins US Tier I , Tier II , Tier III then to Tier IV emission norms are Working to reduce Carbon emission into Atmosphere .

Answer 5

I agree with frank

Answer 6

Not that I know of.   It would cost close to $500 billion to make our power grid up to date, let alone sufficient for the future.   $200 billion to fix all the bridges and about the same to fix the countries water systems.    We are running on what our grandparents left behind and not committing the money or resources to keep it in good shape.   No one wants to take responsibility for spending close to a trillion $$ and have to raise taxes to do it.   Although, that would have been a great place for our rebate checks to have gone.   Think of how many jobs that money could have produced and the trickle down economics that would have come out of it instead of just giving money to people, most of who probably just wasted it quickly and got nothing concrete out of it.  

Answer 7

Well the fact that large companies are making a change and making products that are environmentally friendly means that they are trying to reduce it. Like cars companies for example, they are using more money and effort to make eco friendly cars. But honestly, my government hasn't been doing very much.

Answer 8

climate crisis?!?!?! where?!?!

crisis: a time of intense difficulty, trouble, or danger

where's the difficulty/trouble/danger???

and sorry for not being serious enough, it's just that i'm a bit fed up with this "save the planet" c**p.

yes the governments are taking big steps, look at France they are working on a  nuclear fusion reactor, it might take several prototypes to work as they want it to work though.

Answer 9

They're currently lowering the price of gas again to deal with the energy crisis part of your question.

Answer 10

Well, they're raising taxes and passing laws. Of course that won't fix the energy and climate crises because there isn't one, but don't let that stop you from being angry!

Answer 11

No they havnt, they are waiting for their plan to succeed for billions to die by 2012, as part of their de-population plan and the uprise of the new world order. They purposely make preidictions for policy change 20 years from now so that people ignorantly and very structurally reduce their emmisions and do their part to save the planet, when in fact they know nothing can be done about global warming because it is mainly caused by a long term cyclical cycle which happens every 26,000 years(precession), so as we are led to believe that man is to blame for global warming, that is really just a way of drawing away attention from the reality of the problem, while profiting off of those who believe change can be accomplished by changing our habits, essentially they are profiting while avoiding telling us the truth so that we can all die because the world is too overpopulated and in their eyes only the elite deserve to know this proprietary information.
