Thus The Guardian today. “With three weeks until Britain goes to the polls, we gauge the mood of the nation,” elaborates the newspaper. More than a thousand Britons were interviewed earlier this year. Skipping the attitudes and beliefs relevant to the upcoming elections, I browsed through the lengthy article in search of climate change. To my surprise, it was nowhere to be found. The environment appears in the list of worries close to the end of the article, but only just. Amazingly, the greatest worries in Britain are the National Health Service (59 percent of those interviewed), terrorism (58 percent), and immigration (53 percent). Among the least worries reported, the membership of the United Kingdom in the European Union comes topmost (32 percent), followed by house prices (31 percent), the environment (30 percent), inequality (29 percent), education (28 percent), and housing shortage (27 percent). Of course, the link between terrorism and immigration, on the one hand, and climate change, on the other, is not even hinted at anywhere in the article. One way or another, Britons are not worried about climate change. Chances are that other Europeans and Americans would not differ very much from Britons in this regard. In short, the Paris climate talks at the end of this year will be a flop. Whatever is ultimately agreed will be of little consequence in the years to come. Humans uncovered, as it were.
