Social concerns are
what will imprint the urgency of attending to climate change on the minds of
most.
And that urgency is happening in California.
A drought of unprecedented proportions for the U.S. state is
now among residents’ biggest concerns.
The Huffington Post reports that 29 per cent of people are
most concerned about their jobs, while twenty-six per cent of residents named
water and drought as the most important issue facing Californians.
In the story headed: “For Californians, The Drought Is Almost As Big Of A Concern As Their Jobs” the post reported the residents
wanted more action on drought preparedness and water security.
Solutions to climate change are fundamentally social and
behavioural although practicalities such as a wider and deeper understanding of
water will play an equally important role.
