Vast majority of Malaysians polled blame humans for climate change


PETALING JAYA: An overwhelming 95% of the 1,199 Malaysians who responded to YouGov's International Climate Change Survey believe that climate change is real and 85% believe that it will affect their lives.

The report surveyed 30,000 people in 28 countries and was published ahead of the Global Climate Strike last weekend, and it showed that Malaysians generally agree with the worldview that drastic changes need to be made to avoid the impact of climate change and that governments are not doing enough about it.
