While it&#8217;s not an apples-to-apples comparison as questions and responses differ, a <a href=\"https:\/\/poll.lowyinstitute.org\/charts\/attitudes-to-global-warming\">Lowy Institute poll<\/a> conducted just as Russia invaded Ukraine found:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>60% of Australians believe global warming is a serious and pressing problem and we should begin taking steps now even if significant cost is involved. This result was unchanged from 2021.<\/li>\n<li>62% say climate change poses a critical threat to Australia\u2019s vital interests in the next ten years &#8211; also unchanged since 2021.<\/li>\n<li>77% supported Australia committing to a more ambitious emissions target for 2030; which has since occurred &#8211; even if it&#8217;s not as ambitious as some believe it should be.<\/li>\n<li>64% supported introducing an emissions trading scheme or a carbon tax (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/carbon-tax-goes-now-historical-perspective\/\">we had one around 10 years ago<\/a>), compared to 40% in a similar question in 2016.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, even with local and global events threatening to distract, it was interesting that attitudes to climate change didn&#8217;t really waiver.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of actions on climate change at a personal level, results from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/solar-emissions-survey-mb2564\/\">another poll released last month<\/a> indicated more than 68% of Australians considered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/solar-emissions-survey-mb2564\/\">installing solar panels<\/a> \u201cimportant\u201d or \u201cvery important\u201d in addressing climate change (a bit over half said they already had or would soon).<\/p>\n<h2>Global Attitudes<\/h2>\n<p>A little dated compared to the above and again not apples-to-apples, but <a href=\"https:\/\/wrp.lrfoundation.org.uk\/LRF_2022_report_risk-in-the-covid-age_online_version.pdf\">figures released in July<\/a> from the 2021 Lloyd&#8217;s Register Foundation World Risk Poll indicated 67% of people considered climate change as a threat to their country \u2014 a slight decrease from 2019. Among that percentage are the 41% who viewed it as a &#8216;very serious threat&#8217;, which is unchanged from 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The accompanying report noted:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;In regions with higher educational attainment, such as Northern America and Australia\/New Zealand, about half of people said climate change is a \u2018very serious threat.\u2019 This percentage varied widely with people\u2019s likelihood of worrying they could be seriously harmed by severe weather events.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Many people don&#8217;t just worry about it; they&#8217;ve already experienced the impacts of climate change in various forms &#8211; fire, flood, drought, storm damage, pestilence over and above &#8220;the norm&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s all a bit biblical.<\/p>\n<p>And as more people make the connection between the severity and frequency of such events and climate change, perhaps their attitudes to the issue will change with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They say people are the same wherever you go.
