Ksenia Reznikova, Yuliya Zamaraeva

Abstract


The topic of people’s attitude to climate change is quite new, since it has emerged just in the latter half of the 20th century. In the foreign science this problem was raised in the 1990s, while yet the Russian scientists have not paid enough attention to it. In the 1990s the foreign researchers analyzed the attitude to climate change in Germany, the UK, Uruguay, the USA and in other countries. These scientific works are characterized by quite a general nature. The 2010s abroad are marked by a scientific boom related to the consideration of the attitude to climate change; interestingly, these researches are very specific and narrow that is explained through the choice of subjects, respondents and etc.
