Climate Change Remains Top Global Threat Across 19-Country Survey
Pew Research Center ^ | August 31, 2022 | BY JACOB POUSHTER, MOIRA FAGAN AND SNEHA GUBBALA

… Among the many threats facing the globe, climate change stands out as an especially strong concern among citizens in advanced economies, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. A median of 75% across 19 countries in North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region label global climate change as a major threat.

The survey finds that people continue to see climate change as one of the greatest threats to their country, and this is especially true in Europe, where more say climate change is a major threat to their country than at any time in the past decade in most countries. The results come as wildfires and extreme heat across Europe cause massive disruption to life.

Despite the dire concerns about climate change in Europe, concerns are relatively muted in the U.S., as they have been for years. Views on climate change as a threat are linked to political divisiveness in the U.S., something also seen in the other countries surveyed, with those on the ideological left showing more concern about climate change than those on the right.

While people in these 19 countries often view climate change as the top threat, concern for the other threats tested is not diminished. Majorities in 18 of these countries view the spread of false information online and cyberattacks from other countries as major threats, even as few rank either as the top threat.

People also express worries about the condition of the global economy, as the survey was fielded just as inflation-related economic problems started to affect people across the world. Nevertheless, concerns about the global economy are high in most countries, especially among those who say their own country’s economy is bad and share pessimism about the future of children’s financial well-being.

In my list of things that cause me concern, climate change comes in a few lines below smooshing cockroaches and having the goo stuck to my shoe.

A parallel survey indicated that 18 of the 19 countries queried agree that Climate Change is the Top Global way to extort massive funding from the United States.

Blackouts and thousands dying in fires trying to keep warm, plus possible blackouts, plus certain super-high energy prices may knock some sense into Europeans.

If there is a hurricane this year, I hope it’s a cat 5 and hits Turtle Bay, NYC.

The idea of the Globalists was to take down Russia, via Ukraine, and then China and India, with the rest then being forced to play by the Globalist rules.

But Putin got in the way of their plans. Bummer for them.

A government of a country without an external threat is a government in an increased risk of being turned out.

Of course, a government that creates a bogus, fraudulent, and fake external risk to survive makes enemies of all those citizens who see through the lie.

Woke, eh?

How can people fail to recognize the Population Control agenda?

The "Climate Change" threats are bogus and the "solutions" are fake.

- Proposing new tech, small nuclear power plants, while shutting down existing nuclear facilities.

- Pretending "renewable energy" will suffice, when the cost and environmental impacts are worse than fossil fuels.

(mining rare earth material, no disposal methods for limited life items like windmill blades, solar panels and batteries, lack of power lines from these new sources....)

- Ignoring the impact of China and India adding a new coal fired plant every week.

One thing I learned recently

the oft-quoted and infamous IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) part of the UN - makes its “estimates” ONLY from data that is provided by official government channels to it.

They are forbidden to look at anything that did not come from its member governments.
