Dedicate as much funding and regulation as possible, ASAP - “We need to make changes to our economic and environmental policies now. Many studies have been already been published that detail the irreversible effects of climate change. If we don't take action now, we will face much worse problems in the future than a hampered economy.”

Dedicate funding and regulation, but prioritize the economy - “The US is on the precipice of moving beyond fossil fuels, but in order to reach that point we have to focus on sustaining and rebuilding the economy and let free market competition drive R&D in green energy.”

Dedicate no funding and regulation – “The free market has shown time and time again that it is more than capable of developing technologies and innovating new solutions to combat climate change efforts. The government needs to step aside and reduce climate regulations.”

Unsure/Other – “We have to figure out a way to get China on board. It won’t really matter in the long run what the US does if the rest of the world doesn’t change as well.”
