Poll: British Public Rates Global Warming As Lesser Problem Than Terrorism, Graffiti, and... Dog Crap

Sounds about right to me!

The public believes the effects of global warming on the climate are not as bad as politicians and scientists claim, a poll has suggested.

The Ipsos Mori poll of 2,032 adults - interviewed between 14 and 20 June - found 56% believed scientists were still questioning climate change.

There was a feeling the problem was exaggerated to make money, it found.

The Royal Society said most climate scientists believed humans were having an "unprecedented" effect on climate.

The survey suggested that terrorism, graffiti, crime and dog mess were all of more concern than climate change.

The BBC doesn't specifically say this is a poll of the British public, but it stands to reason. I don't think graffiti has been worthy a mention as a problem in America since 1987.
