Belief in Climate Change drops

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 thinkĀ 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.

“Feed-in” tariffs” available to UK homeowners

As from April, UK homeowners who install solar panels or wind turbines will be able to claim cashback on the electricity that they create.

More details can be found on the Department of Energy aand Climate Change website, and on the BBC News website.
