After back to back years of climate disasters, fewer Canadians understand climate change is real than before

Canadians have witnessed catastrophic climate change-induced disasters over and over in recent years, but polling suggests it’s having little effect on the public’s understanding of the climate crisis.

Against that backdrop, only 63 per cent of Canadians understand that climate change is real and caused by humans — a drop from 71 per cent in 2021, according to a poll published by the Angus Reid Institute Friday.
