MOSCOW (Sputnik) – A survey conducted for the British Sky News TV channel said that at least 24 percent of UK citizens polled either do not interpret global warming as a threat or do not believe that humans are contributing to the environmental shift.

A similar poll conducted by the YouGov research company in 2013 showed that the number of UK citizens doubting the negative effect of humanity on the Earth's climate was 12 percent.

The poll results were released as the 21st UN Climate Change Conference is currently taking place in Paris from November 30 to December 11. The international forum aims to reach a legally binding agreement on climate change between nations.

The Sky News poll results state that over half of those British people contributing to the questionnaire oppose an increase in personal taxes to finance cuts in greenhouse emissions, legislation which could be implemented in an agreement at the UN conference.
