Wake Up!
Quoting the 16 year old Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg, who has inspired a global movement for climate change, "This is not the time and place for dreams. This is the time to wake up!" Even though climate change is seen as the most important issue, still no vital steps are being taken to tackle it soundly!
A recent survey conducted by Nick Lowles, from UK-based anti-racism group Hope not Hate, said the findings showed that the public were “way ahead” of politicians in recognising the scale of the climate crisis. “They understand the scale of the problem and want governments to take the strong and decisive action that this emergency requires.”
It found that at
least three-quarters of the public think the world is facing a “climate
emergency”, with climate breakdown at risk of becoming “extremely dangerous”.
I believe the problem lies in the very fact that even while there are millions of activists and social workers and environment scientists out their constantly working towards reducing this problem the other billion people who are in constant denial when recognising and admitting that it is in fact a severe problem for every species on the face of the earth posses a bigger threat to everything and everyone than this particular problem itself! I wonder when the government and big companies will actually understand how crucial it is and start acting on it in a proper and well planned manner. Until then let's hope that the Earth have a better patience level than all of us combined altogether!

The poll surveyed more than
1,000 people in the UK, Canada, Germany, Italy, Brazil, France, Poland and the
US.
The UK has the smallest proportion of people who strongly agree the world faces a climate emergency and that global warming will soon become extremely dangerous without a big cut in emissions
