    72% is shockingly high tbh. Makes me think the question wasn’t phrased well. Or maybe the chuds in other G20 countries don’t shit their pants if you mention that climate change is real?

      Occam’s Razor. “Should we send politicians to jail–” “Yes” "–for climate crimes? "

      We can see the phrasing, at least in English:

      It should be a criminal offence for leaders of large businesses or senior government officials to approve or permit actions they know are likely to cause damage to nature and climate that is widespread, long term or cannot ​be reversed

      The responses “Strongly agree” and “Tend to agree” with the statement are the 72%

        that they know

        How do we prove, definitively, what they knew at the time?
