KEEPING CLIMATE CONCERN
St Cuthbert’s Island, off Lindisfarne, Northumbria.
An islet under threat from rising sea levels. The islet
has been adopted by Eco-Verses as
a symbol of the global risk to low-lying places.
Politicians worldwide must have seen,
that mass UK voters want green
policies soon,
for they’ve seen it’s high-noon
for Earth with a poor Eco-scene.
Graham Lawton writing in New Scientist 3rd August 2024 (p24) refers to a poll taken by the climate think tank E3G which found that the Conservatives made no political gain from ‘ditching the green crap’ which they had thought would woo voters from their right flank. Another poll found that in the 251 constituencies the Conservatives lost, almost half of voters surveyed said the party
was wrong to backtrack on the environment. But even more importantly, a team from the University of Bonn have published results of a representative survey of 130,000 people across 125 countries which found that 89% of those surveyed want stronger political action on Climate change.
