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 individuals 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. / Rural Sociology
