Scots backing climate action

Greater action to tackle climate change is supported by 70 per cent of people in Scotland, according to a new poll.

The survey carried out for Stop Climate Chaos Scotland by Yougov comes as the world’s leading climate scientists – the UN’S Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) – gather in Edinburgh this week.

Gail Wilson, Stop Climate Chaos Scotland campaigns manager, said: “Climate change will do irreversible damage to our planet if we don’t do more to tackle it now.”
