Abstract

What does the British public think about climate change? Is there strong public pressure on politicians to enact policy to bring down emissions? Drawing on online survey data, Sam Crawley, Hilde Coffé and Ralph Chapman explain that there are five climate change opinion 'publics'. The two largest publics have strong beliefs that climate change is occurring, but view it as a low salience issue.
