Perhaps the “spreading awareness” and scaremongering have backfired

Public support for a strong global deal on climate change has declined, according to a poll carried out in 20 countries.
Only four now have majorities in favour of their governments setting ambitious targets at a global conference in Paris.
In a similar poll before the Copenhagen meeting in 2009, eight countries had majorities favouring tough action.
The poll has been provided to the BBC by research group GlobeScan.
Just under half of all those surveyed viewed climate change as a “very serious” problem this year, compared with 63% in 2009. (snip)
Canada, France, Spain and the UK are the only four with majorities in favour of their governments taking a leading role.
Spain, Russia, and India (the report calls them stable, though it shows a 5 point increase), Turkey are the only countries which saw increases. Eight countries saw significant decreases. Even those they call “stable”, saw decreases (except for the aforementioned India).
The pollsters suggest that citizens globally are becoming more informed about climate change. They also found more than twice as many people today blame rising levels of carbon dioxide from human activities for extreme weather events as compared to a similar poll carried out in January 2000.
Interesting. Despite becoming “more informed”, most have lost some interest in Government Doing Something. As for informed, they aren’t if they think CO2 from humanity is causing extreme weather.
They really should do a poll on what steps Warmists are taking within their own lives, and whether they are willing to give up things like fossil fuels, prosperity, affordable energy, etc, due to their beliefs.
