Per Polling, Oz Voters Have Finally Noticed That Turnbull Government Hasn't Done Shit On Climate

[hatrack]

Two-thirds of voters say the Turnbull government is doing "not very much" or "nothing at all" to combat climate change. And they are not alone – exclusive international polling for Fairfax Media shows a similar proportion in 22 other nations think their governments are doing little or nothing to address global warming.

EDIT

A separate study of public opinions about climate change by the Ipsos polling firm, to be released soon, found most Australians think it is already causing an increase in extreme natural events. Ipsos' figures show 61 per cent think climate change is causing more frequent and/or extreme droughts while 59 per cent think it is causing more frequent and/or extreme bushfires and storms. The polling also found 56 per cent of Australians think climate change is contributing to the destruction of the Great Barrier Reef.

"The majority of us buy the argument that climate change is having a serious impact on our natural environment and our weather systems," said Ipsos director, Jessica Elgood.

There is less voter consensus about the scope of climate change policies with 32 per cent saying the government should take whatever actions necessary even if it harms economic growth versus 34 per cent saying climate change action should not harm growth. Only 6 per cent think governments should take no action at all.

1. And they voted Jilard out of office

because Rupert Murdoch decided to go to war with her government over the now-dead carbon tax.
