An article today on the BBC demonstrates the depth of lying worldwide about personal climate change mitiagtion. The BBC report 83% of people worldwide reported they are willing to make personal sacrifices to be greener.
Previous surveys have shown that 40% of people in the UK say they are willing to make changes for the environment, and less than one-tenth of them actually will do when making financial dec isions (i.e. 4%). Assuming that lying is a universal trait (and not confined to British people), this means that of the 83%, around 8% of these will take decisions that will cost them but favour the environment. BUT, a full three-quarters are lying ...
But, I have yet to see an article or survey work looking at the environment/ development trade-offs. What about climate change and equity? An unanswerable question?
