It is a truth universally known that climate change is happening now, and is inextricably linked to human activities. Carbon dioxide levels have sharply risen as we have industrialised over the last 300 years. In this context, it comes as a shocking, unwelcomed revelation that less than half the population believes that human activities are to blame for global warming, according to a poll from The Times.
The British public have proved to be foolish - but this also reveals a stark political failure. Politicians at Westminister have miserably failed to convey how serious our situation is. Until they achieve this, we have no chance of combating climate change. The fight against global warming is one that needs to start at grass-roots level: from switching off the lights to saving water to lobbying governments to change their ways.
