Probably not. This was read as a warning to politicians on both sides not to stick their necks out on climate action.But does this narrative reflect how the country really feels? Just after the election, we asked 54,000 Australians what climate action they want — and when — through the While the bushfire crisis may have shifted opinion somewhat, this data provides a baseline of our attitudes.If Australia were 100 people, represented here with 100 dots, this is how we'd feel about climate change.Seventy-two of us rate climate change as a problem for us personally.It's the problem facing the largest number of us personally, above saving for retirement (62 concerned) and health (56 concerned).But 27 of us say we're not losing any sleep over climate change — 10 women and 17 men.Queensland has the highest proportion of people who say climate's not a problem for them personally, at 35 per cent.But climate change is still the issue keeping Queenslanders up at night more than any other.There is no state or territory where climate doesn't rate as the most common concern.If we look only at Australians who voted for the Morrison Government in last year's election, a majority say climate is a problem for them personally.Only one other issue tops climate among Liberal and Nationals voters — saving for retirement (55 per cent), and only by one percentage point.Climate rates above Coalition priorities including terrorism (48 per cent), crime (42 per cent) and immigration (33 per cent).The most common view among Australians is that "climate change has been established as a serious problem and immediate action is necessary", with 60 of us feeling that way.Another 24 of us agree climate change is taking place but feel that "some action" should be taken.That's 84 in favour of at least some action and 15 who think no action is warranted.Of the 15 who'd like to hit pause on climate action, 10 are men and five are women.Of that same group — those who don't see the need for action — 11 voted for the Coalition and the other four for minor parties and independents.

There are no Greens or Labor voters.But while a higher proportion of Coalition voters than average think we shouldn't take further action, this is still a minority view among Liberal and Nationals voters.Their most common view is that some action should be taken, and "immediate action is necessary" isn't far behind.If we look at One Nation voters (who represent 3.1 per cent of the primary vote nationally) a majority say we shouldn't take action.Most Australians want to see action on climate change, but do we think it will actually happen?The most common belief among Australians is that we will have to change our lifestyles to reduce energy consumption.The second most common view is that Australia won't do anything to tackle climate change.Almost one in five of us think scientists will solve it, while 10 per cent reckon we'll adapt to a warmer climate.Far more young people have hope that companies and government researchers will develop new technologies to solve climate change.While more older Australians believe we will learn to live with and adapt to a warmer climate.Australians who voted for the Morrison Government are the most optimistic, with a higher proportion than average believing both in a technological solution and that humans will adapt to a warmer climate.Greens voters and young people are the most despairing, with 38 per cent of Greens supporters thinking Australia won't do anything about climate change.We asked Australians which energy sources they would like to see the country rely on more.A whopping 83 of us would like to see Australia rely more on solar power, while 68 would like to see more wind and 62 more hydro power.Keep in mind, we asked about each energy source individually — not in comparison to each other.

So some people will be represented in all three of these groups.Thirty-four of us would like to see more nuclear power.Twelve would like more coal and 19 think more gas should be in the mix.Overall, women are keener for solar and wind than men, and men are more enthusiastic about coal, gas and nuclear than women. But a large majority of both genders want to see more renewables.A majority of those who voted in the Morrison Government want to see more renewables, but they're also more supportive of coal and gas than most Australians.Support for more coal is low overall but gets a boost in regional and rural Queensland.And while the Coalition may have picked up support there through its backing of the Adani mine, those areas still tend to favour boosting renewables more strongly than extra coal.It's clear that Australians want to see more renewables.
