Belief in Climate Change drops
06/02/2010 by admin.
A Populus poll for BBC News of 1001 adults in the UK shows that the numbe of people sceptical about climate change is rising. In November 2009, 83% agreed that climate change was happening - this has dropped to 75% in February 2010.
Also, the percentage of people who think that Climate Change is mainly man-made and not natural is dropping, from 41% to 26% - more details can be found here.
Personally, I think a lot of this is due to having the coldest winter and most snow in the UK for many years. It will be interesting to see another poll in a few months time.
Also, it just shows that more education for the whole subject is needed.
