The results of a global poll are sure to shock those who claim that the “science is settled” on climate change – nearly four out of ten people believe it is natural, not man-made.
The worldwide IPSOS survey asked people in 30 countries across five continents to give their views on what they thought was causing climate change.
37 per cent of respondents said they believed it was “mainly due to the kinds of natural phenomena that the Earth has experienced throughout its history.”
In the seven countries where political leanings were recorded, 28 per cent of leftists said they were climate skeptics, while 50 per cent of right-leaning respondents said they were doubtful.
According to energy company EDF, which commissioned IPSOS to conduct the poll, the results were “unexpected.”
“The degree of skepticism over human-caused global warming will shock the ‘settled’ science green catastrophists, who use constant scare tactics to promote the command-and-control Net Zero agenda,” writes Chris Morrison.
Despite EDF asserting that populations are starting to notice the supposed increase of “extreme climate events,” regardless to doubts as to whether this is even happening, the energy company noted that it is not making them “more concerned, nor is it convincing them of the human origins of the phenomenon.”
In other words, despite decades of being constantly bombarded with “the message” that humans are solely responsible for climate change, a huge chunk of the global population still isn’t buying it.
EDF notes that climate skepticism has grown by six points over the last three years, while skepticism in France grew by eight points in a single year.
The reality of what ‘net zero’ actually means for people’s standard of living and their finances appears to be hitting home amidst a cost of living crisis that has led many in the west to be unable to afford their heating bills.
No doubt calls for wealthier western countries to pay “climate reparations” is also causing more people to question precisely where their money is going and for what purpose.
Meanwhile, despite Just Stop Oil climate change protesters staging unruly demonstrations for months in London, the sudden cold snap appears to have made them all disappear.

that should be 10 out of 10..
Climate has always changed, and will always change, long before man and long after we have gone.
Well, of course not. They can’t get a word in edgewise. ;-)
Makes sense given that about 37 percent of people are actual thinkers and intelligent.

Is there not a large blank space in the middle? Do you ever see a story which fills in this area? Do you ever read a story that uses words like sun and ocean?
I will submit there is no evidence of man-made global warming because no adherent to the popular mythology will acknowledge the existence of the sun. All I have ever seen are comments on weather events or physical phenomenon involving temperature followed by an assertion global warming is the cause. Such reasoning requires a complete disconnect between events and conclusions, and is no more rigorous than Middle Age alchemy.
I have yet to find any article which attempts to measure the influence of the sun and then ascribe an increment to human activity. It was only since the late 70’s that it was possible to measure changes in the sun’s radiance independent of earth.
Even before that time any true scientist would have said data collected could not be analyzed, because people had known for centuries the sun was a variable star and it was not possible to separate influences for any mathematical computations. Now that it is possible to separate the influence of the sun the analysis of such a complicated interaction is still highly problematic. Therefore, political rhetoric must be substituted for application of the scientific method.
It is not even debatable that climate change is natural. The climate was changing for millions of years before the invention of human technology.
Intelligent posts like yours are why I FReep. Research-wise we are likely to continue to get the same junk conclusions because the funding sources perpetuate the ‘alchemy’. Those who do not tow the party line get economically canceled in the next budget. If the scientific method were strictly adhered to the GW/CC proponents would necessarily be their own harshest critics. They would recognize that correlation is not causation!
Thank you.

That is very close to the ratio between scientifically aware people and those who aren’t.
Thank you.
In my house there’s this light switch that doesn’t do anything. Every so often I would flick it on and off just to check. Yesterday, I got a call from a woman in Madagascar. She said, ‘Cut it out.’
