The BBC World Service just released the results of a poll they did of 22,000 people in 21 countries on attitudes toward global warming.

Says GlobeScan President Doug Miller, "The strength of these findings makes it difficult to imagine a more supportive public opinion environment for national leaders to commit to climate action."
And yet, national leaders continue to dither and whinge. What up, national leaders?
Also: What’s up with India? Clearly word has not gotten around over there. Any Indian activists in the audience? You people need to step it up.
Two more nifty charts below the fold.
