Thank you to those who have helped me to understand these scientific (and important) facts. It's an area I know very little about, even though I'm a passionate defender of conserving wildlife, and protecting the planet.
I'm not entirely sure Joe, but I think that most UK folk are in agreement, as it's obvious to us that weather patterns, for example, have changed a great deal over the past few decades. (Brits are quite obsessed with the weather)
If pollution has a direct effect on, say, health (lung problems, cancer and so on) people will sit up and take notice.
I do so wish however that here in UK folk would blooming stop chucking their litter around the place. Those endless plastic water bottles and drinks cans are everywhere. Even out here in the sticks of Norfolk, the hedgerows have an amazing display of detritus.
