Climate change will only have an impact on othercountries, there is no need for me to worry
The effects of climate change are too far into the futureto really worry me
It's not worth doing things to help the environment ifothers don't do the same
It’s not worth Scotland trying to combat climate changebecause other countries will just cancel out what we do
The so-called environmental crisis facing humanity hasbeen greatly exaggerated
I don't believe my behaviour and everyday lifestylecontribute to climate change
The environment is a low priority for me compared witha lot of other things in my life
Tackling climate change shouldn't come at theexpense of the Scottish economy
