Britain’s Green Huhnacy

GWPF
"But Cameron faces a political conundrum and one that could easily force him out of office. Two recent polls suggest the EU and Britain are set on a collision course over future energy and climate policies. In September, in a three-country poll (Britain, the U.S. and Canada) the Angus Reid Public Opinion organisation reported that less than half of Brits (43 percent) believe that global warming is a fact and/or is caused by human activity. That’s more than Americans (49 percent) or Canadians (52 percent) who share that view. According to the poll however, over 33 percent of Brits now favor economic growth above protecting the environment with 40 percent favoring the environment. That’s a massive 11 percent shift toward favoring economic growth above the environment since a poll the previous year. It is clear that a major proportion of the British electorate does not back Huhne’s obsession with carbon targets – and the cost to them it incurs."
