Merchands of doubt losing the battle in the UK

Survey of British adults on behalf of ECIU on climate change.



Here in the UK, at least, people are starting to see through the lies and propaganda spread by those who are happy to risk rendering large parts of the Earth uninhabitable in order to maintain their profits. My guess is that, paradoxically, President Trump's election in the US is probably helping to change minds here. Given his very blatant lying in other areas (e.g. his inauguration attendance), his claim that AGW is a hoax tends more to convince people that AGW is actually true.

I could only find the latest 2017 poll.

It would be helpful to know if the 2015, 2015, and 2016 polls were worded the same or different.

The poll was from 2/1/17 to 2/2/17. Why wasn't the 2016 results listed, or was there none?

Propaganda is good at ignoring important details. I see important details missing.

Your faith is strong!
 
[h=2]Petition to the President[/h]
Feb 27, 2017​

Guest Post by David Holland
Dick Lindzen has sent to President Trump a letter and petition signed by some 300 scientists and experts (H/T Anthony Watts). The petition is for the US to withdraw from the UNFCCC. I had some difficulty accessing it but eventually located a pdf of the letter and the petition itself here.
I'm sure Dick speaks for many BH readers as well some of our MPs. Even at the high water mark in 2008 only a little over half of British voters thought humans were responsible for most global warming and less than half thought it a pressing problem. Recent opinion polls now show that barely 10% of the public regard climate change as a serious concern. Few can now dispute the global agricultural benefits of increased carbon dioxide concentration, but in the UK and elsewhere we are seeing the chronic health damage resulting from the dash to diesel subsidised by foolish governments.
Hopefully when Parliament debates the Grand Repeal Bill some of our smarter MPs will push to dump any directives requiring reductions in carbon dioxide emissions or support for the UNFCCC.
