Some people might be surprised to learn that climate change is perceived as a larger threat to the vital interests of Canadians for the next decade than terrorism, according to a new poll from Innovative Research Group.<\/p>\n

Between December 22 and January 4, the survey was conducted for the Canadian Defence and Foreign Affairs Institute, where Canadians were asked about their “threat perceptions” on issues. From 2004-2010 the threat of terrorism dropped from 49% to 28%, while climate change dropped from 52% to 49%.<\/p>\n

While the perception of danger from terrorism may have diminished, it’s significant to note that despite the past six years of relative hysteria about the threat of climate change, that it actually dropped 3% over the past six years. You’ll note that news articles<\/a> are referring to this as a “relatively stable” number, but I don’t think it’s taking into account some of the significant changes in the past three months alone.
