NEW AUSTRALIAN POLLING SHOWS PLUMMETING SUPPORT FOR AN ETS

Polling commissioned by ACSC and released February 7th shows the level of support for the government's emission trading scheme has fallen to 33% of Australian voters.

The falling level of support confirms similar polls released recently by Roy Morgan Research. General support for the theory of man-made CO2 emissions significantly affecting climate is also falling.

The Roy Morgan research, undertaken before many of the recent credibility revelations hit the IPCC showed 46% of Australians supported an ETS. This support has now declined rapidly to only one third of voters.
