The BBC has conducted a poll into public opinion on Climate Change, and found scepticism to have risen to become the majority view, in the last months months.

The figures show that while 75% of people still believe that global warming is happening, only 26% are convinced that it is man made – a majority, 38% are not convinced. 25% believe that it is not happening at all.

The reason for the increase in scepticism is believed to be revelations about errors and malpractice by scientists.
