Survey: British public among the least concerned about climate change

YouGov survey finds climate change considered third most serious threat globally, but UK public see population growth as greater cause for concern, reports BusinessGreen

The British public is far more concerned about the threat posed by population growth than it is about climate change, according to a YouGov survey published late last week.

The survey, which questioned more than 18,000 people in 17 different countries, found that while climate change is seen as the third most concerning issue globally, people in Britain feel armed conflicts and population growth pose a greater threat.
