Why are budgets still being allocated to combat global warming despite the highest temperature in the U.S. being recorded in 1913?
- I totally agree that we need to look at the context. Temperature has only been measured for a bit over 100 years, so we don’t have the complete picture of climate change. While the climate does change, we can’t be sure if it’s due to human activity or natural processes. Continued research is essential.
What do you think about the proposed legislation to penalize companies for environmental damage without proof?
- I oppose this legislation. It’s unjust to assume companies have caused damage without evidence. This approach reminds me of the Russian Revolution, where businesses were unfairly taxed and eventually nationalized. We must protect our capitalist principles and ensure that such paths are not pursued.
How can New York residents initiate an investigation into public spending on climate change if the scale of the problem is unclear?
- Residents should advocate for transparency and accountability in government spending. Engaging with local representatives and utilizing public forums can help push for investigations into how funds are allocated for climate initiatives.
What steps can be taken to improve the teaching of the U.S. Constitution and history in schools?
- This is a new issue for me, but it’s concerning. We should explore ways to make teaching the Constitution more engaging for students. Delivering this information effectively is vital.
What are your thoughts on the accuracy of history being taught in schools, particularly regarding foreign influences?
- It’s unacceptable to present misleading information in our education systems, such as showing a world map without Israel. We should be cautious about foreign donations to schools, as they often come with strings attached. We can fund our educational institutions without relying on external influences that compromise our values.
