Question

If you were a world leader, how would you address global warming? What strategy would you use?

Answer 1

all of you who said you would restrict peoples way of life or change big companies. I am SOOO glad your not our president and it shows how naive you really are.

Answer 2

The only way to reduce global warming is to create awareness among the public. Refrigerators and many commodities are made of freon products which are chiefly responsible for global warming. So the government must take proper action in curbing the production of such items rather than asking people to stop using them. If I were given an opportunity, I would spent a part of the budget in preparing a team which helps to introduce alternatives to anti-environmental products.

Answer 3

I would tell everyone to start walking or riding a bike and ban all products that produce holes in O-zone layer

Answer 4

Calculate the damage caused from companies who have been responsible for causing the pollution in the first place.

Then add in the damage caused by their lobbing governments against changing and introducing policy to address the issue of global warming since the 70's when the alarm bells were  raised about the impact of unsustainable business practises.

Then recover that amount from the companies, if the companies cannot pay the amount, the companies should be turned over to the government to be run as a not-for-profit organisations until they can be put to tender with strict guidelines and regulations on how the companies are to operate if they are to be run as a for profit corporation.

Answer 5

Another world leader has already addressed it perfectly.

Answer 6

I would first try to get the special interest groups and politicians to prove that mankind has, or could have, any impact on climate change, backed up by any proper science.

When they could not, I would try to have all of the fools locked up for at least 20 years and have all of their ill-gained assets confiscated and given to some of the poorer countries which could benefit from that revenue provided that it was going to benefit those most in need.

It is probably best that I was never placed in that position however, because I would probably try to be even more ruthless, since they are only the 'scum of the Earth', and my preferential treatment for their crimes would be far worse!

Answer 7

I would ensure that teaching methods are corrected within our school systems so that students could once again know the meaning of true science, not junk science.

All those responsible for the no-debate junk science taught in our schools today, along with those who promote the lie of global warming/climate change, would be imprisoned.  

I'd lower gas prices, and give away free SUV's.

Answer 8

1) Withdraw from the UN

2) Abolish the Kyoto Accord

3) Encourage flatulence

4) Establish a control system that undermines the environmental movement from within.

5) Take the proponents of global warming to the new international human rights commission, on account that I was offended by the arrogant spewing of lies.

6) Ban the photography of polar bears.

7) Mandate that Al Gore be sent on a rocketship to Uranus to establish a new colony.

Answer 9

I'd just tell people the truth: global warming was, is, and always will be a complete farse.

Answer 10

I'd have everyone put in writing their beliefs on global warming.  After all of these statements were collected, I'd give those who believe in man-made global warming exactly what they want:  I'd cut their power and take their vehicles.

Answer 11

I would start storing food and survival supplies around the country . I would create a  civil survival corp . For as the world changes so should mankind .
