Nothing to do with what ranjiao worrying trend, it just means that more Singaporeans have awakened to the truth that man-made climate change agenda is a total scam nonsense perpetuated by politicians and activities to suit their own agenda.
The climate has cycle between warm period to Ice age for millions of years as and when it likes. So if now the weather suddenly become very cold, are we supposed to released more CO2 to the atmosphere and change Euro 5 back to Euro 2 emissions? LMAO.
All these PCB politicians and activists should be fined and jailed for continually deceiving the public to line up the pockets of politicians and special interest groups and causing untold sufferings to ordinary people.

SINGAPORE — Singaporeans' lukewarm attitude to the urgent threat of climate change has persisted for the second year running, an annual survey has found, reflecting a "worrying" trend shared by many countries in Southeast Asia grappling with inflation.
The Southeast Asia Climate Outlook Survey Report 2023, published on Thursday (Sept 21) by the Iseas-Yusof Ishak Institute, showed that the proportion of Singaporeans who believe climate change "is a serious and immediate threat" to the well-being of the country stood at 43.7 per cent this year.
Past editions of the report showed that this figure dropped substantially from 66.4 per cent in 2021 to 40.5 per cent in 2022, before rising slightly this year.
Data collected from respondents of other Southeast Asian countries largely reflected a similar trend — the average for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) dropped from 68.8 per cent to 46.6 per cent from 2021 to 2022, before a seeing slight increase to 49.4 per cent this year.
Iseas' researchers said in this year's report that the dip in climate threat urgency, compared to 2021, might be tied to the region’s economic concerns such as rising inflationary pressures, job losses and increasing energy and food prices.
The researchers noted that a larger proportion of Singaporeans (47.7 per cent) did respond that climate change is an "important issue that deserves to be monitored". However, this pointed to a belief that the issue of climate change is "not critical yet" and is "not a top-of-mind issue", they added.

The annual survey, which started in 2020 and is in its fourth edition, was done online over a period of four weeks from July to August this year, and tapped a total of 2,225 respondents from 10 member states of Asean.
Its respondents comprised people from various walks of life including those from academia, businesses, civil society, governments, regional organisations and students.

- An annual survey has found that just 43.7 per cent of Singaporeans believe climate change "is a serious and immediate threat to the well-being" of the country
- This is a slight increase over the 40.5 per cent in last year's Southeast Asia Climate Outlook Survey Report, but still significantly lower than the 66.4 per cent in 2021
- This fall in climate change urgency since 2021 comes despite recent high-profile adverse weather events globally
- Data collected from respondents of other Southeast Asian countries reflected a similar trend which researchers said is "worrying"
