http://www.10waystosavetheworld.net/climate-as-important-as-defence Tackling climate change is either as important or more important than strengthening national defences – that’s the view of nearly 80% of the world’s consumers according to a survey from HSBC. The HSBC Climate Confidence Monitor 2009 questioned people from Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Mexico, the UK and the USA to gauge their attitudes and behaviour regarding climate change.
