40-country survey: Majority support for cutting emissions
PARIS (AP) A survey across 40 countries around the world found most people see global warming as a serious problem, and most of them want their governments to limit emissions as part of a global agreement being negotiated in Paris in a month.
Respondents in the United States and China the two biggest emitters of the gases that heat the planet were least likely to be worried about climate change, according to the study by the Washington-based Pew Research Center released Thursday.
Those in Latin American and African countries places severely affected by rising seas and encroaching deserts linked to climate change were most concerned.
A majority of respondents across regions said they would support cuts in greenhouse gas emissions by their governments as part of a global accord being negotiated at U.N. talks in Paris Nov. 30-Dec. 11.
