Is our government doing enough about global warming?

Asked at Lawrence High School on March 13, 2007

“No. I don't really think they're doing anything. But it's not something the U.S. can fix by itself. Even if we did everything we could, it wouldn't fix the problem.”

“I think they are trying to downplay the importance of it and focusing too much on the economy, which doesn't really matter without the earth.”

“I think they need to do more. We need to set an example for the rest of the world by lowering our emissions and exploring alternative sources of energy.”

“No, not really. I don't think the Bush administration is taking it seriously.”

“They could do more. We could cut back more on our emissions.”

“I don't think they are doing enough. They need to regulate the use of vehicles and equipment that produce high levels of CO2.”

“I really don't think that we are the primary cause of global warming. I think it's a natural process of climate change that the earth is going through.”

“It's a big problem, and they aren't doing enough about it. But I think they need to do more research before they can come up with a better solution.”
