Are Australians becoming less concerned about climate change?

ABC News

Surveys conducted by the Lowy Institute indicate that global warming has slipped in importance to most Australians from first to fifth. Whilst global warming and water shortages are still areas of concern to most people, they are now lesser worries than job security and strengthening the economy. Penny Wong, the Federal Climate Change Minister, responded by stating that the survey does not represent the concern she is hearing from Australians, who want to see changes made in respect to climate change issues.
