Poll finds most Britons believe global warming will have far greater effect on humanity than Covid-19

Dr Pavlos Vasilopoulos, Professor Neil Carter and PhD candidate Justin Robinson have had an article written about a study they did on anxiety toward climate change in The Guardian.

The article "Eco-anxiety over climate crisis suffered by all ages and classes" finds most Britons believe global warming will have a far greater effect on humanity than Covid-19.

Dr Pavlos Vasilopoulos says “These findings contest commonly held views that the environment is only an issue for the southern middle class. Instead, climate change appears to be becoming more similar to issues such as unemployment or crime, which are recognised as priorities by the majority and are used to evaluate government performance.”
