Most say climate change is real, but won't accept the blame

ost Australians accept climate change is real, but the majority do not trust scientists when they say it has a human cause.

That was the finding of a new survey conducted by the CSIRO, which found 75 per cent of respondents believe the planet is warming, but only 46 per cent believed the phenomenon was man-made, with 39 per cent attributing it to natural causes.

The remainder either didn’t know what they thought on the issue (7 per cent) or rejected the science all-together (8 per cent).

Respondents diverged predictable along political lines.
