The latest Irish Times/Ipsos MRBI poll finds that while people are convinced of the problems of climate change, they are less convinced about measures to combat global warming. And there is a substantial chunk of voters who exhibit some degree of scepticism about climate change and/or the measures proposed by Government to tackle it. Almost half of all farmers (49 per cent) disagree that climate change is the most serious issue facing the world, while 38 per cent agree. Only among the under-25s is there majority support among those expressing a view in favour of paying more on fuels to tackle climate change. Those who want the Government to act on climate change have convinced very many people.
