２０１９年６月３０日（Sun.） G２０を見ていると、改めて、権力の過度の集中は危険と感じています。リーダーの発言だけで右往左往している姿を見ると、政治体制の見直しが必須ではないでしょうか。 もっと議会や組織にウェイトを置くべきです。
権威主義や形式主義に陥っている人は、盲従や黙従になり、そして、それを他人や若者に強いることにつながります。相手に対して礼儀や尊重尊敬の態度を有することと、黙従は別世界です。

さて、地球温暖化・気候変動に関し、日本人は関心を持ったり心配しているのでしょうか。 （ ニュースソース： ICELAND REVIEW ６月２８日発 ）

Just under 70% of Icelanders are seriously concerned about global warming, RÚV reports. Individuals level of concern about climate issues is, perhaps not unexpectedly, closely related to their political affiliations. These are among the findings of a recent survey on the matter conducted by the firm MMR.
Thirty-five percent of respondents reported being “very concerned” about global warming ad 33% said they were “fairly concerned.” Twenty-one percent said they were neutral on the issue, 5% said they were a little concerned and 6% said they were not very concerned.
Overall, women reported higher levels of concern about global warming than men, with 76% of women saying that they were either “very” or “fairly” concerned about the issue, as compared to 60% of men.
（超抜粋） 調査によると、アイスランド人の７０％は地球温暖化を真剣に心配しています。 回答のあった中の３５％は非常に心配しているレベルで、３３％はかなり心配のレベル、２１％が中間的で、５％が僅かに心配、６％が大して心配していないと答えています。
全体として、男性より女性の心配度が高くなっています。女性の７６％が非常にかかなり心配のレベルにあり、男性のそれは６０％でした。
The youngest and the oldest people surveyed reported the highest level of concern, although the older the respondent, the more likely they were to report having “little concern” about global warming. Sixteen percent of respondents 68 years and older said they had “little concern” about the issue, as compared to 7% of the youngest respondents, or those aged 18-29.
Political affiliation split people’s opinions on global warming fairly dramatically. Ninety-six percent of Social Democrats said they were “very concerned,” as did 89% of Left-Greens and 78% of Reform and Pirate Party supporters. Voters on the other end of the political spectrum did still report significant levels of concern, however. Indeed, 60% of Independence Party supporters said they were “very concerned;” 53% of People’s Party and 51% of Progressive Party supporters said they were concerned. Centre Party supporters reported the lowest level of concern, or 39%.
The survey was conducted from May 23 – May 29. Nine hundred and thirty-two respondents aged eighteen and older were selected at random to participate.
（超抜粋）（注：詳細は原文を参照下さい。）この調査は、５月２３日〜２９日に行われたもので、９３２人の回答を得たものの分析でした。

アイスランドの人口は日本に比べて少ないものの、北欧５カ国とした場合の１国であり、また、様々な点で先進的と評価されていると思います。
G７だとかG２０だとかに入っていることが必ずしも先進国等ではなく、総じて、北欧が先進的であると確信しています（そこだけではありませんが）。
