| Description | Global warming scepticism is rising, a major poll shows.
It found that 78 per cent of Britons believed the world's climate was changing, compared to 91 per cent five years ago.
Researchers said the growing doubts had been fuelled by the coldest winter in three decades and the row over leaked emails from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit.
These appeared to show that scientists manipulated data on temperature records, although two inquiries ruled out malpractice.
The Ipsos Mori survey of 1,822 people for Cardiff University found 40 per cent believed the seriousness of global warming was exaggerated.
But the vast majority believed in climate change and that human activity was to blame.
