3 Assuming that global warming is a problem, what do you think the Japan (USA) is likely to do about it? I believe that firms and government researchers will develop new technologies to solve the problem. I believe we will have to change our lifestyles to reduce energy consumption. I believe we will learn to live with and adapt to a warmer climate. I believe global warming is a problem but Japan (US) won't do anything about it. I believe global warming is not a problem therefore Japan (US) won't do anything about it No opinion 0 21

8 How do you feel we can best address the issue of global warming as it relates to electricity production? Do nothing. We can live with global warming. 0 Invest in research and development. A new technology will solve global warming. Continue using fossil fuels but with capture and storage of carbon dioxide. 3 1 Expand nuclear energy. 2 Expand renewables (solar and wind power). 15 Reduce electricity consumption, even if it means lower economic growth. 4 Do nothing. There is no threat of global warming. 0 25
