Ha! I was literally just writing the tweets down, swapping ‘Americans’ for ‘Australians’ and deciding to adopt the same mission. But to your question - I don’t know!! Less than 20%? Less than 50%?

Apparently half the population knows they are connected. I think the problem is that most people believe the Australian, the Courier Mail etc- Murdoch Press. So when they share the PM saying Australia is doing enough on climate change they believe ithttps://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.news.com.au/technology/environment/climate-change/australians-believe-climate-change-has-made-the-threat-of-bushfires-worse/news-story/8b6642671959df9dd245982d4d781b03 …

@vivianharris45 is sharing how the ABC covers climate change but yes something like@EndClimtSilence for Australia could be good. How to get people out of abstract thought and into action is the other question. This piece captures this well.https://twitter.com/heidi_k_edmonds/status/1211971458341072896?s=19 …Dr Heidi Edmonds added,
Dr Heidi Edmonds @heidi_k_edmonds'This the story of two Australias. The Australia that is saturated with the reality of the climate catastrophe. The Australia for whom it remains abstract.

Facing the climate crisis is, I think, fundamentally about facing big, terrifying feelings. Most need support to do this. There's also sociological reasons behind denial. That's why it's so important for institutions & ppl to talk and act on the emergency.https://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1210698272328732672 …
