A BBC World Service poll, published a day after 150 countries met at the United Nations to discuss climate change, suggests most people believe human activity is causing global warming and major action is needed to deal with the problem. More than 22,000 people were surveyed in 21 countries.
An average of 79% of respondents agreed that “human activity, including industry and transportation, is a significant cause of climate change”. 9 out of 10 said action is necessary, with over 65% going further, saying “it is necessary to take major steps starting very soon”.
