temperature difference

[Roro]

Hello Itasan, how about 'there is a sensible difference in the level of concern'?? Not quite close...

We see such sentences like these in Japanese:
1. Some temperature differences are seen
among local governments in their eagerness
about how they deal with the global warming
problem.
2. There seem to be some temperature differences
depending on people in their interpretation of
the term 'temperature difference'.
I think it means 'difference in feeling' or something
like that.
Is it possible in English or are there any other
expressions?
Thank you.
