In meeting the threat posed by climate change nations have responded quite differently. Using an extensive data set this study explores factors that affect individualsʹ attitudes towards climate change and how those attitudes ultimately affect national climate change policy. The results show that attitudes do indeed matter in implementing policy and that attitudes are shaped not only by how individuals react to the specific attributes of climate change, but also by information, by the openness of society and by attitudes toward the trustworthiness of government.
