Wow I am blown away by this new data on Australia's climate views
Highest levels of outright science denial since 2009. Highest level of 'gov't is doing too much' (!!!)
And more people afraid of 'self aware AI' than climate.
What a nightmare set of results

Well apparently the US is not the only nation turning its back on science...🤔
This is obscene.
The challenges facing the nation means we should be scaling up CSIRO, not cutting it to shreds.
While we are sending billions to the US for nuclear shipyards, our science and industrial base at home is falling apart for lack of funds and direction.
