According to a survey conducted by Ipsos on predictions for global issues in 2020, 82 percent of Malaysians believed it likely that the average global temperatures will increase in that year. This was a decrease from the results in 2019. Even so, the results of the survey showed that Malaysians still ranked highly amongst countries most convinced that average global temperatures will increase. On the other spectrum, U.S. and Saudi respondents were the most skeptical about increasing global temperatures.
