Most ready for 'green sacrifices'
Most people say they are ready to make personal sacrifices to address climate change, according to a BBC poll of 22,000 people in 21 countries.
Four out of five people say they are prepared to change their lifestyle, even in the US and China, the world's two biggest emitters of carbon dioxide.
This is a good indicator of how people really feel about global warming. Turns out its very important to them and they want to see green changes.
Compare that to this similarly under reported story:
GALLUP: Bush Finally Tops Nixon -- In Unpopularity -- As Call for Iraq Pullout Hits New Peak
For almost two years, President Bush has been threatening to unseat Richard M. Nixon as the most unpopular president in the history of the Gallup poll, and it finally happened this week.
The latest USA TODAY/Gallup survey finds Bush with a 31% approval rating -- and for the first time ever in the polling history, 50% say they "strongly disapprove" of a president.
The evidence is pretty clear. The Bush corporate preemptive privatized adventure is meeting with intense disdain in the USA and globally. People are aware that all is not good.
If the media were doing its job, this news would be trumpeted far and wide. That would lead to change and change is tough for the ruling elite.
