Recent studies suggest that 80-89% of the global population want stronger climate action. This figure is much higher than the same public's estimation of
circa 61% support for countering climate change. It's suggested that this disparity leads to a 'spiral of silence' with folk not expressing their support (

This could, of course, be because the well-funded 'anti-climate action' folk have greater finance, control more of the media and are just more scary (in spite of it being supporters of climate change action, who currently tend to end up in jail). Advocating taking little or no account of climate change is unpopular, whether it's outright rejection or on the basis that any action's 'too expensive'. In deed, failure to support action to counter climate change, may not prove to be the great, new vote-winner (
