British Common Sense

In spite of the fact that Britain seems quite frequently to be headed "off-the-deep-end" on many issues, the general population there usually demonstrates decidedly good common sense. In spite of the rush by the British government to embrace the concept that mankind is responsible for the much publicized coming "global crisis of dramatic climate change," the public is somewhat skeptical. A recent poll there indicated that although many accept that the climate is changing, they doubt that man's activities are the cause. Even more doubt the ability of governments to do anything about it.
