Do you think the last warm winter was a first sign for a climate change?

Results of 24th March 2007


All over Europe and even worldwide higher temperatures could be recorded in the past winter of 2006/2007. In Malta it was definitely the warmest winter since reliable records started. Many so called snow-safe winter sports regions in the Alps suffered from much less or no sow at all.

What's behind those statistics? Is this warm winter a first sign for a climate change?

Between 10th and 24th March 2007 over 230 people participated in this online poll. Thank you very much!

Here the details:

246 votes were cast in this poll.
Unfortunately, there were 10 people who voted more than one time. The votes of these 10 people had to be made invalid in order to obtain a result which is more honest and true.
So the number of valid votes was 233.

Here the percentages that the various answers got:
Yes:                              170 votes   =   72,96 %
No:                                42 votes   =   18,03 %
I don't know:                      21 votes   =    9,01 %

INTERPRETATIONS:

An overwhelming majority of voters think that the past warm winter 2006/2007 is indeed a first sign for the climate change.

The editor would like to point out, that this poll is not representative for the whole country. However, it gives a clear indication anyway.

The results of this poll show that the people are aware of the situation.
