Poll: Are you concerned about climate change?

A new report says it could lead to floods and conflict, but are you worried?

A NEW REPORT from the UN says that climate change could raise the risk of conflict, hunger, floods and mass migration this century.

It says that because some lawmakers are unconvinced about the scientific case for global warming, attempts at passing climate change legislation have been delayed in some countries, such as the USA.

While scientists say that it is “extremely likely” humans have caused global warming over the past 60 years, there are sceptics of the idea of such ‘warming’ of the planet.

What about you: Are you concerned about climate change?
