"The sense of urgency has been dampened by frustration with political squabbling, scare campaigns and setbacks," The Climate Institute CEO John Connor said in a statement. "Despite this, there is a strong expectation for leadership and action on climate change, a transition to renewable energy and the phasing out of coal."

Australians are also coming to grips with some of the potentially devastating impacts of climate change. Respondents were most worried about the impact of droughts and floods on food security, the fate of the Great Barrier Reef and more bushfires.

The report polled a representative sample of 2,015 people over the age of 18 in an online survey.

The Climate Institute's poll comes just after the Earth experienced its hottest August ever recorded. As Mashablereported, that means we have experienced a record warm monthly temperature during every month for the previous 16 consecutive months.

Perhaps that's why the number of Australians who believe in climate change continues to grow. They're living it.
