A record share of Australians say humans cause climate change: poll

More Australians than ever believe human activity is entirely or mainly responsible for climate change, new polling shows.

A majority of Australians now think we are seeing
more frequent and severe droughts due to climate change.

But only 13 per cent say the Morrison government is doing a good job tackling climate change.

A survey by social research firm Ipsos shows 46 per cent of Australians now agree climate change is “entirely or mainly” caused by human activity. That is the highest share since Ipsos began asking the question in an annual survey of Australians’ attitudes to climate change in 2010.

Another 33 per cent say climate change is “partly caused by human activity and partly caused by natural processes” while 11 per cent said it is “entirely or mainly” caused by natural processes only.
