Public attitudes towards climate change in Alberta

  • Author / Creator

  • This thesis is about climate change attitudes in Alberta, Canada. It applies a
    bivariate logistic analysis to the data gathered from a random stratified sampling
    survey held in Alberta in 2008. It finds that belief in the anthropogenic climate
    change and Conservative political ideology factors have a high predictive
    probability on an individual’s willingness to pay a tax that addresses the negative
    effects of climate change. The subjects of individual capacity and reflexivity are
    examined in the light of these results and suggestions for future researchers are
    made. It thus offers insights on how to find human potentials within society that
    can help to cope with the idea of climate change.
