A majority of Britons believe climate change is leading to worsening flooding, more severe storms, and rising seas, according to a new report by the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication (YPCCC). The nationally representative survey—Climate Change in the British Mind—found that 80% of the British public are at least “somewhat” worried about climate change, and most draw a link between climate change and extreme heat, water shortages, droughts, pests and wildfires. The number is higher than in the U.S., where just 64% of those surveyed by YPCCC said they are at least somewhat worried.
