- W2480765488 abstract "There has been considerable debate regarding the scientific aspects of the greenhouse effect(GHE) or global warming (GW). There is a dearth of studies providing empirical evidence on individuals’acceptance or acknowledgment of the GHE/GW as a very serious environmental problem. Thefundamental research question addressed in this paper is therefore as follows: Is the GHE (or GW)perceived as a very serious environmental problem? Quantitative data from 62,772 individuals whoparticipated in the world value surveys are analysed. The term is coined to describe an individualwho accepts/acknowledges that the GHE/GW is a serious environmental problem. Tests of differencesin GWA-sm across selected demographic variables are reported. The results obtained suggestthat 89.50% of the 62,772 individuals surveyed across 48 countries, are GWAs. The 95% confidenceinterval for this proportion ranges from 89.25% to 89.74%. A single sample t-test hypothesis test ofthe population proportion shows that global GWA-sm is significantly greater than 80% but less than90%. Two sample tests of differences in GWA-sm across selected social and environmental variablessuggest significant difference in GWA-sm across various socio-demographic categories. There aremore GWA female than GWA males, more employed GWAs than unemployed GWAs, and fewer GWAsfrom poorer social classes. There are fewer GWAs in the 12–24 age cohort, fewer GWAs among students,and more GWAs among those individuals who consider environmental protection as important. Theseresults have considerable implication on acting locally and thinking globally. In addition, these resultsshed some light on public attitudes towards policies such as carbon tax, emission trading schemes,environmental activism, and environmental priorities focused on achieving policy Millennium DevelopmentGoals (MDGs)." @default.
