AUSTRALIANS see climate change as the nation's biggest problem but appear unwilling to change their lives to reduce their large environmental footprint, an international survey has found.Roughly a third of Australian consumers surveyed had nine rooms or more in their homes and most had air conditioning (70 per cent).
More than 90 per cent had one or more vehicles per household, second only to US consumers, and six out of 10 drove alone daily.
Australians ranked among the lowest in using public transport, with only 22 per cent catching a bus or train at least once a week.
Australians were among the least likely of the nations surveyed to believe global warming would worsen their own way of life (18 per cent), had low levels of guilt about their own environmental impact (nine per cent), and rated average in their belief that people need to consume a lot less to improve the environment for future generations (29 per cent).
