I don’t actually find this that surprising, since people are weak minded and have been indoctrinated via schools and a constant bombardment of negative news “stories”, so, they think Doom is coming

Climate change seen as global emergency by 64 per cent of people

The biggest ever poll of climate change views has found that 64 per cent of people think the issue is a “global emergency”.

The UK, which is hosting the COP26 climate summit this November, had the highest level of concern, at 81 per cent, of the countries polled. Among high-income countries, the figure is lowest at 65 per cent in the US, where president Joe Biden has made climate change one of his top priorities. The average for low-income countries is 58 per cent, although it rises to 74 per cent for small island developing states, many of which are at risk of rising sea levels.

At a global level, conserving forests and land was the most popular way to tackle emissions, with 54 per cent choosing it out of 18 policy options. The “Peoples’ Climate Survey”, commissioned by the United Nations Development Programme, had 1.4 million responses in 50 countries. That gives it the biggest response rate of any climate poll so far, although others have covered more countries.

The Axios article notes that people as young as 14 could vote, and

Some 550,000 people aged 14 to 18 took part in the survey, which had a margin of error of +/- 2%.

So, over one third of the responses were by children, and we’re supposed to listen to them, you know. And here is what everyone thinks should be done

Four climate policies emerged as the most popular of the 18 proposed to respondents in the Peoples’ Climate Vote (see Figure 9). These were to conserve forests and land (54%) and use solar, wind and renewable power (53%), climate friendly farming techniques (52%), and investing more money in green businesses and jobs (50%).

Strange, there’s nothing about changing their own lives, giving up their own use of fossil fuels, making their own lives carbon neutral. But, they’re happy to tell farmers how to do their jobs, right? A job most of these Warmists won’t do themselves. You can see the full survey in the Axios link or here.

A lot about forcing Other People to change their lives, not much on doing it themselves. Back to the first article

The poll was conducted in an unconventional fashion, as an in-game advert served to people playing mobile games including Angry Birds and Subway Surfers. Respondents were asked about their age, gender and education, as well as their views on climate and policies.

It was a Very Serious Poll, eh?
