Australia has one of the lowest rates of people acknowledging that 'climate disruption' is caused by humans
Colour me not suprised
It's easy to be in denial if your job, wealth and lifestyle depend on it.
Watched a great episode of Paul Santenello's show where he tours West Virginia. As always, his shows are eye opening, showing us people and places we've never encountered before.
WV is a wasteland of poverty due to the collapse of coal. You can imagine how they feel about continuing coal mining. It's all they've known, for 3 generations.
They didn't try to pivot to any other sort of economy and now they're buried alive. WV is the most beautiful place I've ever visited, bar none. Damned heartbreaking.
And while I'm at it, let me stump for his channel. Take a look at the linked home page. He goes into places most have never seen. East LA, Compton, Appalachia, Mississippi, nowhere does he shy away from the people. He's as neutral as they come, isn't afraid to ask hard hitting questions, no sensationalism, just straight investigation and reporting.
"climate disruption"? lol 🤡
Your regularly scheduled climate will return shortly. Probably.
60%? So what you are saying is a majority of people.

I mean, I guess, technically, yeah... But geez, for something that's been settled science for well and truly over two decades now, that's a pretty appalling score.
"Well and truly over two decades" is definitely true...
Exxon had a report in the 80s talking about a 1°C rise in "40 years" ie literally right now
This "majority" of a 60 / 40 poll is what the US constantly does too in their news articles. It's just flowery language that make the situation sound better than it actually is.
In fairness, One Nation voters can't read, so we can't expect them to understand anything. And 60% is still a majority. But doesn't feel good being down with UAE and Nigeria :(
Well, England didn’t send their best and brightest…
I'd steal a load of bread too if it took me from Birmingham to Bondi
The thing about England is that over the last 300 years or so anyone with any get up and go, got up and left.
It can be a rather miserable place. I lived there for a while as a kid due to my dad being in the military and getting stationed there. The country itself is okay, the cultural sites were very cool, but god damn - the weather was just ASS 8-9 months out of the year.
