A national poll, commissioned from market research company Ipsos as part of the report, revealed that just one in four UK adults (26%) believe global average temperatures are likely to, or definitely will, be limited to 1.5°C by 2100.
One way to measure the change I’ve undergone in the last several years is via wasps. That’s right: wasps.
