What would you do about climate change if you were the UK’s Prime Minister?

Question

WHAT PLANS HAVE U GOT?!

Answer 1

buy some sun tan lotion

Answer 2

I'd sue Al Gore and the Nobel Prize Committee for fraudulent misuse of "science" and "entertainment".

Answer 3

I'm not British, so I hope that doesn't disqualify me from answering.

First I would invest heavily in nuclear power stations to replace coal power plants. That would save untold amounts of CO2 emissions. They are a perfectly safe solution, contrary to what many think.

Create a tax incentive to start using solar power. Spend more money researching ways to make solar energy more efficient.

Britain is a perfect place for wind power. I would build massive wind farms off shore. The wind is always blowing and you wouldn't even have to look at them.

Phase our vehicles that run on gas ("petrol" or whatever you call it). Make electric vehicles, and/or vehicles that run on hydrogen fuel cells mandatory.

Plant millions of trees every year.

Invest in tidal power.

These steps would be more than enough to solve Britain's CO2 emissions problem, with the side effect of energy independence. Britain would be able to boast that it has done the most on climate change. But it has to be done on a massive scale, otherwise it would be pointless. I believe this is much easier than the government would like you to think. This is a global problem and it requires global action. An individual country helps, but there needs to be truly an ambitious world wide revolution QUICKLY.

Answer 4

plant palm trees in Trafalgar square & put tropical fish in the fountains

Answer 5

Stop believing every other person with a computer model who wants his/her 15 minutes of fame.

Answer 6

I agree with Sam. The earth has been warming since the ice-age, the powers that be are blaming climate change for everything from crop failure to extreme weather conditions, this is all a natural process, but i suspect the governments of this world are using this as an excuse to hike up the price of food etc. just another way to get more money from hard working joes like you and me. As if things weren't hard enough already. Why can't they just lower v.a.t. and give us all a break.

Answer 7

Why in the world did they have an Olympic flame when a flash light world have been better

Answer 8

I would tell the truth...Climate change is a natural occurrence and not to worry about it
