Ignorance could often be considered
a significant factor of influence in the wise of the low-level perception of climate change
among the common people of the developing world, but a more obvious pointer is
their decried poverty state which has negatively influenced their take on the
climate issue.
The fact is that their common orientation towards devising a
more or less daily surviving strategy way outweighs their relative concern for
the inevitable change which in most cases they tend to term as not relevant
considering their relative state of living. In a lot of respect, the premise is
not that they do not feel or perceive the dangerous changes, in fact, these set
of people, who make up the larger proportion of the developing countries’
population have come to recognize the fact that there are changes already well
obvious around their respective environment and which in a way have been
impacting their respective livelihood support systems.
The recent report released by the
IPCC calls for a timely intervention as climate change has started affecting
food security and a worst-case scenario has been predicted as an inevitable
future occurrence if nothing is done. Now the perception is a call for global
interventions, which would include individual responsibilities as a precursor
to a complimentary alliance of stand.
