Comment to Yes, climate change is real

  • Hi Urs!

    Thanks so much for sharing the news with us:) 

    Seems like not all people are ready to commit to helping combat the climate change.. 

    One of the arguments of those who voted against was particularly interesting to me: the covid argument.. 

    It's so bizarre how this pandemic affected so many aspects of our life and decision making. 

    It's very likely that if it were not for covid-19, your side would win this time.. 

    Well, on the bright side, at least there's a conversation going on about the climate change problem in your country. And perhaps after everything settles down with covid and other problems your side will prevail!

     

    Cheers,

    Sasha

    • Hello Sacha
      Thanks for your optimism!
      Yeah, there is a saying:

      If you are willing to do something you'll find a way.
      If you are not willing then you'll find an excuse...;)

      Have a good day now!

      Cheers,

      Urs

      • Hi Urs, 

        Yeah this saying might be true under most circumstances. But I guess there's a layer of society that is rather conservative and to make a change they need to feel comfortable in most spheres of life. Once they see even a minor insecurity, they stumble... Even if it's 5% of the population, it might make a difference in the outcome.

         

        Cheers,

        • ... Depending on their "leading position" - yeah, 5 % can make quite a difference...;)

          Here, with our direct democracy which means that we can take votes on almost everything on a national, cantonal (districts) and local level (towns, villages) it is always about finding a good compromise that does not shy away too many people... old and young, wealthy, middle class and underprivileged, right-wing and left-wing alike... not always easy.

          That is why quite a lot of decisions take such a long time and sometimes numerous attempts of the government and the parliament and are necessarily accompanied by a lot of public debate - until we finally reach an agreement.

          The more it affects everyone's life and therefore means one or the other thing to everyone like climate change or our caring system for the elderlies the harder it gets.

          But I am far from complaining, of course!!!!! Just a bit disappointed, sometimes...

          Have a good day now, Sasha, and thanks for giving feedback!

          Very kindly

          Urs
