British Voters Unsure on Climate Change
British voters unsure on climate change

LONDON, Nov. 14 (UPI) -- Fewer than half of British voters believe human activity is responsible for global warming, a poll released Saturday by The Times of London said.
Only 41 percent of those surveyed said they think climate change is underway and human activity is to blame, while 32 percent said they were unsure. Another 15 percent say the world is not getting warmer, while 8 percent said climate change is environmentalist propaganda.
Conservative voters are less likely to say human activity is responsible for climate change, with 38 percent agreeing compared with 45 percent of Labor voters and 47 percent of Liberal Democrats.
Doubt about climate change is a problem for the Labor government, which plans to seek tax increases to pay for cuts in British emissions of greenhouse gases. The government has goals of a 34 percent reduction by 2020 and 80 percent by 2050.
The recession appears to have increased skepticism. Only 28 percent said climate change is the most serious problem Britain faces at the moment, while 51 percent described it as a serious problem but not the most serious.
