It was foundthat ‘DoForGW’ and ‘MoreTax’ correlated with ‘no opinion change’ negatively in the value andbelief category. Conflating the effects <strong>of</strong> CO 2 with those <strong>of</strong> CO, and misperceptions <strong>of</strong> <strong>CCS</strong> suchas ‘FlowIntoSea’ and ‘Vacant’, were also correlated with ‘no opinion change’ negatively. Further,‘no opinion change’ participants tended to have knowledge <strong>of</strong> the uses <strong>of</strong> CO 2 (i.e. ‘FireExtinguisher’), less trust in scientists as a source <strong>of</strong> information (‘Scientist’), and were moreinvolved with CO 2 related activities (‘Activity’).94 | Understanding how individuals perceive carbon dioxide
