Politics, Economics And The Media

Prices
The U.S environmental protection agency's estimates that by the year 2050 electricity prices are expected to increase by 14%. Natural gas and petroleum prices will increase by 8.6% and 4.7%. USDA projects that the energy prices will have a large impact on agriculture’s cost of production. For example, the production price of diesel fuel, gasoline, and electricity will go up.

Corn production costs are expected to increase $1.19 per acre in the next decade and $25.19 in the next 50 years. Studies predict that this will not cause any change in crop production. Over the next forty years, companies are trying to improve production from crop production, and it may reduce energy consumption.

Politicisation
The politicisation of climate change was mostly caused by former presidents Al Gore and Bill Clinton. When American's hear the term "climate change", a lot of them think of Al Gore. In politics, it is one of the very few things politicians actually disagree on.

Libertarian Party's View
The Libertarian Party’s view on climate change are very unorthodox. The party supports suggesting that private companies should use cleaner energy sources, however it does not support any regulations. It says the government should not take responsibility for people's roles in climate change, private companies should.

The Libertarian Manifesto believes in strong individual rights. It strongly advocates that people should be able to do whatever they want unless it directly affects others. The party claims to defend a person's right to engage in any activity that is civil and honest.
