However, it is unrealistic to expect that this could happen overnight, as fossil fuels are so ingrained into today's society and so much of the global economy is dependent on them. Instead, it is important to find alternative energy sources and to transition to these gradually, so that we can reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. # ALTERNATIVE NAME 2: Statement 2 - We have come to the conclusion that we do not think it is a good idea to force everyone in the UK to stop using fossil fuels. We think that this would be very difficult to implement and enforce. We think that it would be more beneficial to focus on changing the way in which fossil fuels are used, and that this would be a more realistic way to tackle climate change. # ALTERNATIVE NAME 3: Statement 3 - We have come to the conclusion that forcing everyone in the UK to stop using fossil fuels is not a good idea. We think that the UK should transition to a more sustainable energy source, however we think that this should be done gradually so that the country has time to adjust. We also think that the government should focus more on reducing the use of fossil fuels by large companies and businesses, rather than the general public. # ALTERNATIVE NAME 4: Statement 4 - Although it would be ideal for the country to move towards more sustainable energy sources, it is not realistic to force everyone to stop using fossil fuels immediately. It would be better to introduce laws that target companies and force them to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels as they are the ones that cause the most damage. This would then hopefully lead to a gradual change in the public's behaviour as they are influenced by the companies around them. 1: 3,2,1,4 1: 4,2,1,3 1: 3,4,2,1 1: 4,3,2,1 1: 3,1,4,2
