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. [emphasis, links added]
Thirty-seven percent 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 percent of leftists said they were climate skeptics, while 50 percent 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 of 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 appear 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.

I believe that AGW scepticism will increase substantially in the months ahead. People’s budgets are getting blown up by energy costs. There was lots of affordable, dependable fuel and electricity, what happened to it?
Kyrsten Sinema said something the other day, the government has failed the country. She was talking about the open border and crime, but deliberately wrecking a healthy economy with green energy mandates is the crime of this century. Europeans and Americans, particularly in the North East ,will be in a bad mood this winter.
I woke up this morning to minus 5 degrees C, not a cloud in the sky, proof, if any was needed, that water vapour is a far more effective greenhouse gas than CO2 will ever be.
This article seems focused on the assertion that extreme weather events are increasing. They are not but with the media asserting that every hurricane and drought is caused by climate change I can see how people would be brain washed. The other part of the climate change narrative is that the earth is getting warmer. We are on tract to warm by 1.4 to 1.8 degress by 2100. This is nothing to worry about.
WOW! Seems that the old “Information Controlled to RAMP Up the belief by the Masses” to believe what we tell them needs to be cranked up even more!
Still way too many thinking rationally and and not Blindly following our every
proclamation that we always assure them is not even debatable.
Getting that 97% consensus in The REAL World is harder than theybthought!
Global Warming/Climate Change is just a ruse to scare everyone into surrendering up their Freedom into a New World Government lead by the UN and the rest of the UN Socialists(China, Russia Etc.) who founded the UN was not ever for the hope of Peace just World Government and Socialism
