British believe in better government policy on climate change
28 June 2007
The first annual World Environment Review, organized by Australian environmentalist John Dee and powered by GMI, was launched this month. In the ninth of a ten-part series highlighting specific findings of interest for the polled nations, we take a look at the United Kingdom.
- Eighty-one percent of Britons are concerned about global warming, and 79 percent think the British Government should do more to tackle climate change.
- More than 85 percent agree the government should invest more money in public transport, and do more to increase the number of trucks and buses that use bio-diesel.
- Eighty-two percent think the government should do more to increase the number of cars that don’t use gasoline/petrol, and 76 percent believe the government should raise national fuel efficiency standards for cars and light trucks.
- One quarter of Britons believe the biggest threat to the world’s climate is the U.S. Government’s policy on climate change.
