proposed Carbon Emissions Trading Scheme A large majority (83%) of Australians believe Carbon Emissions are a contributor to Global Warming
A clear majority of Australians (55%) approve of the Government’s proposed carbon emissions trading scheme when asked “There’s proposed legislation before Federal Parliament for a carbon emissions trading scheme to be introduced in Australia. Do you approve or disapprove of this legislation?” according to a special Morgan Poll telephone survey conducted last Wednesday and Thursday nights (August 5/6, 2009). Less than a quarter (24% — including 2.5% who say ‘it doesn’t go far enough’) of Australians disapprove of the proposed legislation whilst 14% don’t understand the legislation and 7% can’t say. The proposed legislation will be voted on in the Australian Senate this Thursday (August 13, 2009). Special analysis by age group shows 66% of 14-17 year olds in favour of the legislation compared to 55% of 18-24 year olds, 62% of 25-34 year olds, 61% of 35-49 year olds and just 45% of Australians 50+. Those who disapproved of the legislation were then asked “Why especially do you say that?” The most prominent reasons Australians disapproved of the legislation were: ‘Australia should wait for the World to act’ (3%), ‘Costs too much’ (3%), ‘Doesn’t stop pollution/ carbon emissions’ (3%), ‘Don’t believe in Global Warming' (2.5%), and ‘Carbon emissions are not responsible for Global Warming’ (2%). Of all Australians, 2.5% disapprove of the legislation because it ‘Doesn’t go far enough.’ A large majority (83%) of Australians believe carbon emissions are a contributor to Global Warming which includes 60% who believe carbon emissions are a ‘major contributor’ to Global Warming compared to 17% who believe carbon emissions are a ‘minor contributor.’ Australian views about Global Warming have been remarkably consistent this year with 58% (unchanged since May 20/21, 2009) of Australians saying, “If we don’t act now it will be too late” while 27% (up 1%) say “Concerns are exaggerated,” 11% (down 1%) say “It is already too late" and 4% (unchanged) can’t say. Latest face-to-face Morgan Poll on Federal voting intention, conducted over the weekends of July 25/26 & August 1/2, 2009 and released last Friday (August 7, 2009), shows the ALP (60.5%) well ahead of the L-NP (39.5%) on a two-party preferred basis. Michele Levine says:
Respondents were asked a series of questions about Global Warming and the proposed Australian responses to address this issue — including in relation to the proposed carbon emissions trading scheme. This special telephone Morgan Poll was conducted on the evenings of August 5/6, 2009, with an Australia-wide cross-section of 687 men and women aged 14 or over.

Views about Australia’s proposed carbon emissions trading scheme Respondents were then asked: “There’s proposed legislation before Federal Parliament for a carbon emissions trading scheme to be introduced in Australia. Do you approve or disapprove of this legislation?”
Respondents who disapproved of the legislation were then asked: “Why especially do you say that?”
Respondents were then asked: “Do you believe carbon emissions are a contributor to Global Warming?”
Respondents who answered “Yes” were then asked: “A major contributor or a minor contributor to Global Warming?”
*This question was not asked of those who answered no or can’t say to the previous question.
The research conducted for these questions was both qualitative (in that people were asked to use their own words) and quantitative (in that the ‘open-ended’ responses were analysed and ‘coded’ so that the results could be counted and reported as percentages).
