Londoners' Attitudes to Climate Change
A new Ipsos survey for the Evening Standard reveals that over half of Londoners (57%) think the media has helped encourage people to behave more environmentally friendly. However, Londoners are unsure which political party would do most to help protect the environment — over a third (36%) say they don't know which political party has the best policies on climate change and 12% do not rate any party's environmental policies. Among the parties, the Greens are most often mentioned (25%) as having the best policies on climate change; the three major parties are equally unlikely to be perceived as having the best climate change agenda (9% Conservative, 8% Labour, 8% Liberal Democrat).

Public Attitudes To Parenting
The public believe that better parenting is key to reducing crime and anti-social behaviour in Britain according to a new poll by the Ipsos Social Research Institute. A failure to bring up children properly is felt the main cause of anti-social behaviour today and the public are keen for steps to be taken. The large majority believe that parents should be held responsible for the bad behaviour of their children and be made to take help if their child is involved in anti-social behaviour. Two-thirds of parents say they would personally find help from outside their friends and family useful in dealing with difficult or troublesome behaviour of their children.

The Business Impact Of Blogs
Andy Warhol said in the 1960s everyone will be famous for 15 minutes. He was of course talking about TV. David Weinberger, a famous blogger, brought Andy Warhol's assertion into the 21st Century commenting that blogging means everyone will be famous for 15 people.

This pan European research study conducted by Ipsos, in conjunction with Hotwire Communications is, we believe, the first of its kind to attempt to identify the business impact of blogging.
