UK gov't slashes global warming spending by 41 percent

UK gov't slashes global warming spending by 41 percent | The Daily Caller:
"First, Australia cut global-warming spending and now the U.K. has followed. 
The British government has cut programs to fight global warming by 41 percent, fueling allegations that the country’s environment minister is a global warming “skeptic.”
The U.K. Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) will only spend about $28.5 million on “climate change initiatives” this fiscal year.
This is 41 percent less than the government spent on such initiatives in the last 12 months, reports the Independent.
Critics argue that this is further proof that U.K. Environment Secretary Owen Paterson is skeptical of the theory of man-made global warming."
