Comment to Yes, climate change is real

  • 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,

      Sasha

      • ... 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
