Should New Hampshire government do more to address climate change?

"It can't and there Is No Climate Change that we contribute to. Volume of (quite variable BTW) heat output from the sun and the 200+/- active volcanoes (all the time) mediate the climate. The last 200+/- year 'mini-iceage' ended in 1814. Did GM or GE or Ford start or end that one. Been going on for millions of years folks. It's just nature taking its course."

Do you support New Hampshire’s current system of public school funding, with about two-thirds of total funding coming from local property taxes?
