BBC, Monday, 5 November 2007
 
Most ready for 'green sacrifices' 
 
Most people are ready to make personal sacrifices to address climate  change, 
according to a BBC poll of 22,000 people in 21 countries. 
Four out of five people indicated they were prepared to change their  
lifestyle - even in the US and China, the world's two biggest emitters of carbon  
dioxide.  
Opinion was split over tax rises on oil and coal - 44% against, 50% in  
favour.  
Support would rise if the cash was used to boost efficiency and find new  
energy sources, the poll suggested.  
 

BBC environment reporter Matt McGrath says the poll suggests that  in many 
countries people are more willing than their governments to contemplate  serious 
changes to their lifestyles to combat global warming.
