You don’t need tropical fruit to get plenty of vitamin C, even during the English winter. Many winter vegetables, like leeks, kale and sprouts contain loads of vitamin C (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_C#Natural_and_artificial_dietary_sources). If you’re really worried, one single rose hip (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_hip), abundant in autumn hedgerows, will give you your RDA of vitamin C, for free.

If you’re actually interested in climate change, then reading the science, as summarised by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC — see here for who they are: http://www.ipcc.ch/organization/organization.htm), is a good idea. They produce a huge amount of very comprehensive, complex material. Fortunately, they also produce their ‘Summary for Policy Makers’ report — which is intended to give the worlds governments simple information & solid guidance that they can use to base policy decisions on. These are intended to be read by non-experts and are pretty short. The latest one is 22 pages, mostly graphs, and available here: http://www.ipcc.ch/publications_and_data/publications_ipcc_fourth_assessment_report_synthesis_report.htm — you probably want the SPM link (http://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/assessment-report/ar4/syr/ar4_syr_spm.pdf).
