Concern about climate change or the climate crisis is shrinking globally according to a new survey. The Gallup World Risk Poll was based on more than 125,000 interviews in 121 countries.
It found that 20 per cent of people in China do not believe climate change to be a threat to humanity.
According to The Guardian:
Regions facing the highest ecological threats are on average the least concerned about climate change, with only 27.4% of those in the Middle East and north Africa and 39.1% of those in south Asia concerned about the risks.
But despite the shrinking concern, the ecological bill of climate change is growing globally.
A study of 228 countries and territories by the Institute for Economics and Peace found that 750 million people globally are now affected by undernourishment, and that climate change, rising inflation and Russia’s war in Ukraine will all exacerbate food insecurity in the future.
The study also showed that more than 1.4 billion people in 83 countries face extreme “water stress,” defined as more than 20% of the population not having access to clean drinking water.
Several European countries are expected to experience critical clean water shortages by 2040, including Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, and Portugal, the report found, while most of sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and north Africa will be affected.
The Guardian tells us that regions facing the highest ecological threats are the least concerned. There’s a pretty simple explanation for that. People living in the Middle-East and Africa are not stupid.
They know that their homelands have been experiencing extreme weather systems which lead to drought and famine since Moses was in short trousers.
I recommend Professor Ian Plimer’s new book Green Murder. Plimer’s credentials are above reproach. His book eviscerates the climate change hoax and should be required reading in every secondary school in the world.
