While emerging economies like India and China are often accused of resisting the need to tackle climate change, a new survey by Australian environmentalist Jon Dee, published in the latest issue of New Scientist suggested that people of these two countries are more worried about climate change.

The survey was conducted by Seattle-based research group Global Market Insite. It polled opinions from 14000 people in 14 countries to gather solid data on how people feel about climate change, Dee said.

China and India are the fastest growing economies in the world, so eventually they will emitting mass amounts of emissions into the atmospere unless some preventive measures are taken now. Fortunately, they have this concern. It means they are more likely to do something about it.
