Australians back climate change action while science divides along party lines

A clear majority of Australians have backed the case for action on climate change in a new survey that shows 68 per cent believe the trend poses a "serious threat" to their way of life.

The survey found 24 per cent agreed they had "serious doubts about whether climate change is occurring" in an increase from 19 per cent two years ago and 22 per cent a decade ago. While several Ipsos results showed very high concern about climate change, many of the responses were in line with previous surveys and did not show a spike that could be attributed to the bushfires over summer.

But the research also revealed the uncertainty among voters at a time of intense political and media commentary on the bushfires and climate change, with 55 per cent agreeing with the statement that "there are too many conflicting opinions" to be confident about the claims being made – up from 50 per cent in the last two surveys.

The PM agrees (apparently always has) that there is man made ClimateChange. If the leadership of the LNP pushed this view publicly then many more LNP voters would get onboard and a national consensus would be possible.

What absolute rubbish! Where did you survey? Toorak and Vaucluse? The real Australians know a lemon when they see it and until you present irrefutable evidence we'll keep you in the political desert.

Australians voted down the most ambitious and prominent climate change election in history.

Can someone show me 'The science' please? All I get is predictions that have all failed , opinions and theories , but no scientific evidence that Man causes it. I'm sorry but if I'm gonna buy something, I want to see it first.

Make your mind up!!!

The Japanese are clearly big believers in the 'science' of climate.

If Australia’s emissions down to zero, would it stop climate changing?

Climate changes with or without us. Our challenge is to adapt to what's coming. Paying taxes won't do a damn thing to improve the weather.

Read the evidence from renowned scientists like David Bellamy for truth!

Bullshit we do.

BS when r u media idiots going to start doing ya job and telling the truth. That would take a freakin miracle

BS when r u media idiots going to start doing ya job and telling the truth. 🤦‍♀️🤣😂That would take a freakin miracle

No the science doesn’t divide party lines. Your useless propaganda fake news in that rag of a spewspaper. Only a tiny amount of still sleeping Australians back the lies. Stop making up figures.

No Such thing as climate change!

No ... the science does NOT divide along party lines. The science is FACT. It is BELIEF in the science of ClimateChange that divides along party lines. ClimateEmergency auspol ScienceIsFACT

a minority of australians back climate change action and the majority of them don't want to pay for it

No, the science doesn't divide along party line: acceptance or willingness to act on it does, but not the actual science.

If JimMolan was in position of power, would he rely of infectious diseases type experts to devise strategy to deal with coronavirusaustralia or some other none evidence coming across his desk.

Time for a We Want to Survive Party that ignores part lines.

Australians back climate change action while science divides along party linesThere was no spike in concern about climate change after the summer bushfires, despite claims the emergencies would be a 'wake-up call' to galvanise political action, new research has found. “'They rejected the idea of paying more for electrical power or petrol, or more tax generally, except for one Greens voter in the Melbourne group,' There is no hope for sensible policy on climate change. The denialiasts have successfully muddied the waters so much that people don’t believe it’s happening and don’t have a clue what should be done There is no division along party lines. According to the stats YOU quote in this article, less than a quarter of LNP voters had doubts about the science, and less than a tenth of Labor voters. That's not a division; that's a clear, bipartisan majority of belief in climate change.

Politicians told to ditch partisan bickering and act on climate changeScientists despairing over the deadly bushfire season sign an open letter to Australia's leaders calling on them to abandon partisan politics and take action on climate change. They can't even say 'climate change is caused by CO2 emitted by human' loud and clear in public. They are like a six year old kid admitting stealing cookies. The LNP would collapse of they had to start considering pesky things like science and facts, not gonna happen. Thoughts and prayers for all! Eugh, can you stop with the 'politicians told' No. One side of politics is ready and willing to act on climate change. The Liberal/Nationals party however has held Australia back for a decade. It's the right wing of Australia who need to start acting like 'adults in charge'

Scientists demand Australian government act on climate change | Sky News AustraliaA group of scientists have signed a statement demanding the government act immediately to reduce Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions. \n\nThe 250 signatories, who are experts in climate, fire and meteorology, warned the government that there are greater issues emerging than the fires due to land and ocean heatwaves. \n\nParliament is preparing to sit for the first time this year and the scientists are encouraging them to engage meaningfully with international agreements.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia Paid by whom?
