Appendix C Survey DesignQ1Q2Q3Q4Question statementsStarting with the following statements of opinion aboutenvironment or energy issues, please indicate to what extent thisstatement applies to you.(Tick the most appropriate number on the scale from 1-5.)I am convinced that climate change (global warming) is happening.We should promote the use of renewable energy as soon as possible.I am worried about fossil fuels running out.It is important for our society to accept some risks related to newtechnologies.Something should be done about climate change (global warming) now.I refuse to pay more tax to address climate change (global warming).Here you are presented with statements about possiblecharacteristics of CO 2. Please indicate how sure you are about thetruth of each statement.Tick the most appropriate number on the scale from 1-5. If you do notknow or are not sure of the answer you can choose option 3.CO 2 is lighter than air.CO 2 occurs naturally.CO 2 is flammable.CO 2 is soluble in water.The air around us contains CO 2.It is easy to break down CO 2.Here you are presented with statements about possible effects ofCO 2.
