About half of the public believe there is no proof that global warming is caused by humans, according to a new poll.
The ICM survey for The Sunday Telegraph revealed that 46% of those quizzed did not believe mankind was largely responsible for the global temperature rise.
The opinions of this relatively large group are wildly at odds with the main conclusions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Some 39% of those questioned for the poll said climate change was not proven to be man made. And about 7% of pollsters believed that climate change was not taking place at all.
Less than a quarter (23%) said climate change was the most serious problem man faced, whereas 58% described climbing global temperatures as one of a number of serious problems.

The poll was published as world leaders meet next week in Copenhagen with the aim of securing a new deal to tackle rising temperatures.

climate jerks!
Don’t let the MSM win this.
