Climate change poll reveals 61% have taken action

After poverty, climate change is the most serious problem Europe faces. That is the result of a Eurobarometer survey presented in the European Parliament on 11 September 2008. It also found that a majority believe that we - the people, governments, industry or the European Union - are not doing enough about it. The survey also found that 61% of people had taken some personal measure to cut CO2. A quarter of those asked said they had altered their buying habits and used the car less to help the environment.
