A new WorldPublicOpinion.org poll of 19 nations from around the world finds that majorities in 15 think their government should put a higher priority on addressing climate change than it does now [see table]. In all but three nations most people think their government should give climate change a relatively high priority. However in only four nations do most people think that is what their government is doing.
Of the countries surveyed, those where people are most eager to see their government put global warming toward the top of the agenda include Mexico, Great Britain, France and South Korea. At the bottom of the list are India, Iraq, the USA and the Palestinian Territories. You may want to examine the original survey with questions and individual answers, including methodology used.

I lived in Britain for many years, where I studied politics and international relations and worked in the charity sector. Now I live in Mexico and juggle my time between bringing up a young son, writing science fiction, teaching English and engaging with the global community on-line. I want to learn more about the enormous changes we all face so we might make a peaceful transition to what is bound to be a very different society.
