A person’s tendencyto accept technology related risk and support for using tax money to address climatechange correlated to support of CCS implementation.88 | Understanding how individuals perceive carbon dioxide
• In the trustworthy category, we also found some variables significantly significant acrossthe three regressions. Trust in “NationalGov” (beta 0.09, 0.10, 0.14; p < 0.01), “Developer”(beta 0.14, 0.12, 0.5; p < 0.01) and “UN agency” (beta 0.09, 0.10, 0.08; p < 0.01) had apositive influence in terms of forming opinions on CCS implementations. In contrast, trust inNGOs provided had a negative influence. “National NGOs” influenced opinions about CCS“onshore” (beta -0.08, p < 0.01) and CCS off “shore” (beta -0.05, p < 0.05). Trusts inrelation to “Local NGOs” influenced opinions on CCS “in your country” (beta -0.05, p
