Australia leads the way: | CrusaderRabbit

via Tim Blair:
‘…Nearly one in five Australians do not believe in climate change, making the country the worst in the world for climate sceptics, a study of almost 20,000 people has found.
The research by the University of Tasmania found 17 per cent of Australians thought climate change was not real, compared with 15 per cent of people in Norway, 13 per cent of New Zealanders and 12 per cent of Americans …
“Despite the findings of climate scientists, the proportions of climate sceptics appear to be increasing in many countries,” the study said.
Incorrect. It is not despite the findings of climate scientists that climate sceptics are increasing. It is because of them.’

Only one in five? I’d say at least 50%.

Here Jo Nova nails it – 53% of Australians do not believe in anthropogenic global warming.

And on this survey…..

While the survey did not directly ask people if they accepted the science linking climate change to human activities, the respondents were asked how dangerous rising temperatures would be for the environment.

  From the first link:
  ‘Zoe Leviston, a social psychologist at CSIRO and lead author of the survey..’
  aaah….’nuff said.

Thanks for the links, Mawm. I wasn’t aware that Jo Nova had weighed in on this.
The one in five seemed very low but I assumed the survey had been cooked, as UTas is a known warmist booster.
