PIPA

Developed and Developing Countries Agree

illconsidered | October 3, 2007

So says a recent poll from PIPA. They agree on exactly what, you ask? "Human activity, including industry and transportation, is a significant cause of climate change" says 79% of the globe. Nine out of ten say that action is necessary to address global warming. A substantial majority (65%) choose the strongest position, saying that "it is necessary to take major steps starting very soon." Interestingly enough, India does not seem to share the rest of the world's opinion (not to mention the findings of the latest IPCC report) and comes in at only 49% agreement! Not good news politically…
