?:abstract
  • While climate change skepticism has been studied fairly extensively in the literature, few use cross-country comparisons with cultural explanations. Furthermore, few use class as an explanatory variable. This thesis fills these gaps in the literature and uses the theories of Inglehart and Bourdieu in an attempt to better explain climate change skepticism. Using data from the 2010 International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) survey and the 2012 US General Social Survey, I analyze the effects of political orientation, social class and other social variables on climate change skepticism across Canada, the United States and Norway. The key findings are: 1. Political orientation is most important in the USA and least important in Norway. 2. The interaction between education and political orientation is not observed in Canada and Norway. 3. In terms of class, technocrats are found to be more skeptical about climate change than socio-cultural specialists across all three countries (xsd:string)
