A major new study by Cardiff University and Ipsos MORI has examined public perceptions of climate change and future electricity generation options, as well as for the first time beliefs about energy security. It is the first major piece of independent academic research on British public attitudes to climate change following the recent climate controversies. Lead authors of the research came to the SMC to brief journalists on their findings.
