This research project examines Public Attitudes on Climate Change and Greenhouse Gases in Haliburton County. In order to ensure the establishment of much needed local initiatives, it is important to make certain the public within the community is well informed on the issue of climate change and its relationship with greenhouse gases. For Haliburton County to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the major cause of climate change, the municipality requires a knowledge base of public attitudes toward both climate change and potential mitigative measures. This study is aimed at acquiring the appropriate information to help Haliburton County achieve a greater level of sustainability for present and future generations.
