Climate scepticism on the rise?

According to a recent poll, there's been a noticeable rise in climate scepticism in the UK.

Might be a statistical blip or we've taken a single bad winter as evidence that global warming isn't happening afterall.

Individual weather events should never be mistaken for proof of anything climatically-speaking. Just as a single hot summer or more than the average hurricanes one year are no indication that global warming is upon us (as some media reports would have it), one harsh winter doesn't overturn the global warming science. The fact is, we're likely to have more winters like this before things turn really bad.

It's the general trend that matters, the fact that temperatures are rising over the long term. That's what we all need to keep in mind.
