11 Sep 09 – Excerpts - “The British public has become more sceptical
about climate change over the last five years, according to a survey.
“Twice as many people now agree that "claims that
human activities are changing the climate are exaggerated".
“Four in 10 believe that many leading experts still
question the evidence. One in five are "hard-line sceptics".
“The survey, by Cardiff University, shows there is
still some way to go before the public's perception matches that of
their elected leaders.”
The results were announced by Cardiff's Lorraine
Whitmarsh.
Dr Whitmarsh then goes on to wring her
hands about how “many
people are not "playing their part" in reducing
humanity's impact
on the environment.”
Hooray for the UK public!

completely brainwashing
us here yet!” says Justin.
