Survey on record temperatures: A quarter of people don't want to see the connection between heat and climate change

In June, Germany experienced record-breaking temperatures, leading to a survey by YouGov commissioned by the Deutsche Presse-Agentur. The results show that 66% of respondents believe there is a connection between extreme heat and global warming, while 24% do not see any link. The survey also reveals significant differences among political groups, with Greens supporters at 96%, followed by SPD (86%), Left Party (84%), Union (73%), FDP (64%), and BSW (60%). Conversely, AfD supporters showed much lower belief in this connection, with only 29% agreeing. Regarding climate protection measures, 49% of respondents think Germany’s policies could mitigate extreme heat, but 41% believe they cannot. AfD supporters were most skeptical, with only 16% believing climate policies would make a difference. The survey was conducted between July 10th and 13th, involving 2,230 eligible voters.
