The Best Way To Make People Worry About Climate Change…
…is to provide them with a university education, adequate living quarters in urban settings, and $100,000 in “investable asset”:
Climate change topped the list of concerns by some two-thirds of Hong Kong residents polled as well as majorities of residents of London, Paris, Sao Paolo, Toronto, Vancouver and Sydney, according to the poll of 2,044 urban residents around the world…The survey was conducted online from February 17 to March 1 among respondents who had university or post-graduate educations, were ages 25 to 64 and had at least $100,000 of investable asset…
(well, obviously under those conditions it should make it easier to have a little fewer of other concerns such as paying the mortgage, getting dinner organized, staying ahead of the bills)
Can’t wait to see thousands of self-styled environmentalists worldwide lobby their democratic representatives to defend the planet from climate change through a “Global Get Well Schooled, Urbanite And Rich Initiative“!
Now, that’s a Climate Campaign I would like to see started…just let me know where I can cash my $100,000, please?
“The survey was conducted online from February 17 to March 1…”
I also consider myself a skeptic of online surveys.
