The results of a climate change poll developed by Oxford University and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) were released today. The survey was distributed on phone game applications like Angry Birds, which expanded its demographic reach by allowing for more younger people to submit responses. In total, more than 1.2 million people from 50 countries participated, making it largest survey ever conducted on climate change, according to the Globe and Mail.
The survey found that close to 70 per cent of people under 18 believe climate change is a global emergency versus 58 per cent of those over 60.

According to
The Chronicle Herald, the biochar plant would use wood fibre from the sawmill, including softwood chips, to produce biochar.
