"A growing number of Britons are sceptical about global warming, a poll has revealed.It found around 26 per cent - a rise of 10 per cent in just three months - do not believe the world is getting hotter.And it showed that the proportion of those who think climate change is a reality has fallen from 83 per cent to 75 per cent since a similar survey was carried out in November. ...At the same time, the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has come under fire after it admitted making mistakes in several of its published reports.
Yesterday the panel was forced to apologise after a major blunder was uncovered in its influential 2007 report on global warming.In a chapter discussing the threat of rising sea levels, the IPCC claimed more than half of the Netherlands was below sea level.In fact, just a quarter of the country is. Jacqueline Cramer, the Dutch environment minister, last night called for an investigation into the error, adding: 'I am very disturbed. I do not wish to accept any more mistakes.'
