More than four in five Scots are worried about the impact of climate change on Scotland’s nature, a new poll found. The Survation survey, shared with The Daily Record, revealed pollution and ocean warming are also major fears.
An overwhelming 82 per cent majority said they were concerned about the effects of the climate crisis on the country’s environment, according to the research conducted for charities network Scottish Environment LINK. And it found people were twice as likely to think Scottish nature is in decline than improving.
One in nine species in Scotland are currently at risk of national extinction due to climate change and man-made activities - with warnings the nature loss crisis could become “irreversible” without swift action.
