Despite the 'urgency' of Paris climate talks, a U.N. sponsored global poll rates climate change dead last

And this result comes despite the fact that these other concerns are not being hyped in the media and by politicians, day in day out, year in year out.
Where is the media and political campaign for ‘Affordable and Nutritious Food’? Where is the GreenPeace campaign for ‘Affordable and Nutritious Food’? All GreenPeace want, is more and more expensive organic foods that only the rich can possibly purchase.
Politicians play to the audience. That, is the nature of the political game. If a comedian in a theater tells the same joke every night, and receives a stoney silence in return, hesh will soon drop it. If a politician gets a zero response on hesh climate campaign – that issue will be dropped just as quickly.
The only fly in the ointment is the BBC, which is a Communist enterprise does not have to worry about income and popularity. But the new government’s proposal to cut its funding may make them think twice.

Of course it’s the lowest priority. It’s a problem for the grandchildren. The rest are the issues that are ours to deal with.
And if we deal with our responsibilities our grandchildren will find it a lot easier to deal with their problems. Because they will be richer.
Almost everyone knows that.

The most interesting thing about these sort of surveys is actually the trends from year to year – I would like to see results of similar surveys taken in the countries with a high HDI index in say, year 2000, 2005, and 2010. Can anybody put their hands on such surveys?

Will make no difference. The UN Paris meeting will follow the historic Iran nuclear deal.
Actually, more like a Venezuelan election – the pre-cast votes have already been put into the “machine”.

Why is affordable housing not on the list? And where is the actual survey? – is that documented anywhere (not on the site)? The list of “Partners” on the site is a joke – a lot of them are dead ends (I can’t believe all the “organizations” at the bottom of the list with just 1 vote each) I think this whole survey thing is just a bad joke – a figment of the UN’s imagination. And if so, why didn’t they put “Climate Change” at the top of the list – that is really curious…do a search on some of their Partners – crazy…

The reason folks in very high HDI countries have so many problems is because we have no real problems.
It is telling that food and water are so low on the list. It seems people are willing to sacrifice the physical needs of the body today in hopes of better education that may empower the descendants of the future.
Despite the evidence that people really don’t know what is good for them, and the obvious fact that elitists try to take advantage of it (and people seem to not care so much), people still innately know that they cannot do anything about the weather and climate.
