Britons Unsure of Climate Costs
|
A majority of Britons accept human activity is responsible for changing the climate of the planet, a new BBC poll suggests.
|
But barely half of more than 1,000 people polled thought they themselves would feel any significant impact. And almost half of those interviewed thought changing their behaviour would make no difference to climate change. Most were willing to take some action, though nearly two out of three rejected paying more for petrol.
A total of 1,007 British adults were questioned between 16 and 18 July by ICM for the Climate Change Special being broadcast on BBC News 24 and BBC One. Climate change came last of the list of important issues facing the UK, chosen by 53%, though 64% said it was one of the most important problems facing the world.
