Exclusive: poll of 10 countries including US, UK, France and Germany finds people prioritising measures that are already habits

interesting and not exactly encouraging survey and the guardian is going with the whole "look at these selfish and irresponsible plebs", but the big thing i take from it is mostly that climate messaging has been so terrible that nobody knows what the fuck to do, everyone is sceptical of the personal responsibility bullshit, and the most highly-rated thing is that people just want some fucking leadership on this (interesting that there were very few questions on what government/industry should be doing, i wonder why)

    There’s so many steps to take before we get close to curbing treats

    1. ground the military immediately, anything not nuke powered goes in dry dock
    2. suspend all drilling permits in federal waters
    3. end intangible drilling tax exemptions for oil and gas drillers
    4. halt all new pipeline construction
    5. mandate work from home
    6. public transportation infrastructure and housing investments to make it affordable to commute electric

    Etc etc

    I don’t blame people for being like fuck off, no when asked this question because as usual it’s just the same old liberal bait and switch of trying to get individuals to shoulder the burden of systemic failures
