Climate Change CIVICS

Right Wing (Conservative)

industry>humanity's survival

Not Severe

is not "drastic"

"will die down over time"

Not Real

is natural; not due to human actions

continue industry development

no change to fight climate change

Independent Responsibility

countries should decide their own efforts

not every country can make the same
efforts; heavily industry reliant countries
will have to give up more

countries all want to sacrifice the
same amount; fear of reducing the
industry and economic wealth of a country

risk of not knowing whether contributions
are enough

Left Wing (Liberal)

want to focus more on cutting industry
and helping the environment

Real

climate change is real and is
the result of human actions

is unnatural, needs to be reversed

Solution

reduce industry work;
cut emissions

elect a GOVERNMENT
that will fight against this

appeal to government on this issue

raise awareness (e.g. implement into education system)

Immediate Action

immediate efforts should
be taken

COMPROMISE

global issue=global solution

everyone has to come
together to solve this

sacrifice of business, industry, for sake
of planet's health

countries will have to sacrifice and adapt to new changes

SPEAKER ANOTE TANG

left wing

reduced fishing industry, increasing
cost for incoming vessels

made political decisions with climate change
and environment in mind

firm believer in fighting
against climate change

believes that bigger countries need to cut more

bigger countries will have to sacrifice more

hesitant; financial wealth and current industry could decline

bigger countries will suffer most financially

if not caused by human actions then humans shouldn't sacrifice to reverse natural change
