China's top climatologist stays cool over 2C rise | Environment | guardian.co.uk

A 2C rise in global temperatures will not necessarily result in the calamity predicted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), China's most senior climatologist has told the Guardian.
...
"There is no agreed conclusion about how much change is dangerous," Xiao said. "Whether the climate turns warmer or cooler, there are both positive and negative effects. We are not focusing on what will happen with a one degree or two degree increase, we are looking at what level will be a danger to the environment. In Chinese history, there have been many periods warmer than today."

Public switched off by climate change, warns ippr

Based on workshops, observations of home energy assessments and interviews with mainstream consumers across the UK, ippr’s research finds people are:

* tired and bored of hearing about climate change despite being aware of it
* cynical about the Government’s motives in pushing for action on climate, viewing it as a means of increasing taxation or as being hypocritical in light of recent decisions such as allowing the building of the third runway at Heathrow
* doubtful about the effectiveness of adopting lower-carbon behaviours when other people, companies and countries are still emitting elsewhere
* resentful of being made to feel guilty about their lifestyles
* dismissive of environmentalists and ‘green’ products as ‘smug’ and ‘self-righteous’
* put off by the cost of choosing lower-carbon options.
