The majority of the British public is still not convinced that climate change is caused by humans - and many others believe scientists are exaggerating the problem, according to an exclusive poll for The Observer.
The results have shocked campaigners who hoped that doubts would have been silenced by a report last year by more than 2,500 scientists for the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which found a 90 per cent chance that humans were the main cause of climate change and warned that drastic action was needed to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
The findings come just before the release of the government's long-awaited renewable energy strategy, which aims to cut the UK's greenhouse gas emissions by 20 per cent over the next 12 years.
The poll, by Ipsos MORI, found widespread contradictions, with some people saying politicians were not doing enough to tackle the problem, even though they were cynical about government attempts to impose regulations or raise taxes. In a sign of the enormous task ahead for those pushing for drastic cuts to carbon emissions, many people said they did not want to restrict their lifestyles and only a small minority believe they need to make 'significant and radical' changes such as driving and flying less.
'It's disappointing and the government will be really worried,' said Jonathon Porritt, chairman of the government's Sustainable Development Commission. 'They [politicians] need the context in which they're developing new policies to be a lot stronger and more positive. Otherwise the potential for backlash and unpopularity is considerable.'
There is growing concern that an economic depression and rising fuel and food prices are denting public interest in environmental issues.

The ruling elite will just have to impose restrictions on the lumpen proletariat since they’re not buying the propaganda.
Boy, I have new found hope that people aren't complete idiots.

My daughter is a Geologist - HydroGeologist...
she says humans are NOT causing glowbull warming and none of her professor believed that humans are causing warming. They LAUGH at it. I wish they would SPEAK out agaist nimrods like Al Gore!!!!
Well, what do you know....?
Why should the government have a position on Global Warming?
Brits tend to read an awful lot...and limit their TV viewing to mostly entertainment (not the news channels).
There you have it, people are at last coming to the correct conclusion that the environuts want money from their pockets to fix the "problem".

A couple of good sites that debunk the globull warming religion of algore.
“...silenced by a report last year by more than 2,500 scientists for the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)...” I note this first lie. ‘Twerent 2,500 scientists... it was more like 2300 politicians (and we know how much science those clowns know), with the remainder being UN “scientists”, and we know how much science those clowns know also. The Brits also have a pretty good idea of what a bunch of loons compose the majority of the press. The came to the correct conclusion.
The public is smarter than the journalists. Whoda thunk it!
Considering that many of the UK newspapers have constantly pounded the global warming thing with scare stories that make AlGore’s fantasies seem tame by comparison, this is good news indeed.
Part of the problem is that the left has oversold GW. The dire predictions are just not beleivable to most folks.
That right there says it all about a whole number of things.
Large even numbers are always the language of a liar.
