The climate is on the verge of collapse. Anyone who doesn’t believe in this lives on another planet. Simple: what to do? Most Swiss people would rather bury their heads in the sand. In a Sotomo Research Center survey, nearly two-thirds of participants said climate change was getting on their nerves.
The Federal Office for the Environment has no doubt: disasters like the one that recently occurred in Schwanden are linked to climate change. After a devastating landslide just before Christmas, 100 residents were evacuated. The fact that they cannot do anything against the power of nature makes them despair, says a resident of the village of Blik. Notably, when the climate bill was voted on last summer, nearly 60 percent of the affected Glarus community voted against it.
Equally paradoxical is the behavior of the voice in many places where people complain about the lack of snow. Climate remains the biggest challenge for the Brunni-Haggenegg ski lifts, a newspaper headline read last fall. Just a few months earlier, 84.4 percent of voters in the municipality of Alptal said “no” to the climate law.
For some reason this doesn’t work. Problems will not solve themselves. Encouragingly, 71 percent of those surveyed said they had had to do their part to combat climate change. You know: ignorance is a privilege we cannot afford.
