Worldwide Support for Global Warming Concessions Falling

Sure it's falling. People are more concerned with actually being able to eat than partaking in such silliness. I've been saying this would happen for years. But fear not. Those advocates for a new world order have created a new boogey man --- Global financial crisis.

There is both growing public reluctance to make personal sacrifices and a distinct lack of enthusiasm for the major international efforts now underway to battle climate change, according to findings of a poll of 12,000 citizens in 11 countries, including Canada.

Results of the poll were released this week in advance of the start of a major international conference in Poland where delegates are considering steps toward a new international climate-change treaty to replace the Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012.

Less than half of those surveyed, or 47 per cent, said they were prepared to make personal lifestyle changes to reduce carbon emissions, down from 58 per cent last year.
