British children, well versed in the effects of climate change, are putting pressure on older generations to act now to halt environmental decline.
New research shows 95% of children aged between 4 and 15 were 'concerned' by global warming, with more than half 'very concerned'.
And three out of four respondents believed they were more fluent on the subject than their parents. The eco-conscious youngsters, dubbed 'Greenagers', now want to put more pressure on older generations to take a lead in environmental decision-making.
Some 70% of those polled believed climate change is something that will affect them in their lifetime.
