Climate Change

The government is inclined to believe that harms from climate change are likely and that both policy and individual actions can be effective in addressing climate change. Among the political divides over which actions could make a difference in addressing climate change are power plant emissions, carbon emissions, tougher fuel efficiency standards for cars and trucks, cooperate tax incentives to encourage businesses to reduce the carbon footprint from their activities, and more people driving hybrid and electrical vehicles. The stakes in climate debates seem particularly high because Democrats are likely to believe that climate change will bring harms to the environment.
