Paris Accord and climate

One of the problems with polls is that people are not honest. They answer the way they think puts them in the best light. Case in point is climate change. Polls show this to be one of the top three issues but when you look at life styles it becomes obvious that it is not important to them. These are the people who live in large houses on large lots and drive large cars and live in the burbs. They think that if they recycle they are doing their fair share. Every day the news puts out dubious information about how the country is changing and you would think that solar is about to take over but solar represents 1.7% of the energy produced. No expert is even suggesting moving to natural gas for transportation and they rarely give the US any credit for the change to natural gas in power plants. There are very few articles published about the increase use of coal in Asia when that represents the real problem. Only seven countries are living up to the promises made in the Paris Accord and the names of these countries are unfamiliar to most people. Once again they professed concern about climate but they are all talk and no action. Polls taken of the countries of the world show that climate change is a big problem.
