80% people want more govt action to fight climate change: UN poll
A global poll of 75,000 participants published Thursday revealed that every four out of five people want stronger national commitments to addressing climate change.
The survey by the U.N. Development Program, Oxford University and GeoPoll posed 15 questions by randomized telephone calls to people in 77 countries representing 87% of the world’s population.
The key finding was that 80% of respondents want their governments to increase efforts to fight against global warming.
Poorer countries beat this drum the loudest, with 89% in favor, though appetite is also high in the wealthy G-20 nations (76%), according to the survey.
China (73%) and the United States (66%) – the world’s biggest greenhouse gas emitters – also saw a majority of respondents in favor of climate action.
Interestingly, the UN, full of climahypocrites, failed to ask what these climate cultists are doing in their own lives. But, it’s no surprise those in 3rd world nations want action, because it means lots of redistributed money from countries that have prospered.
