Lay Perspectives

As a part of an international study cordinated by Dr. Willett Kempton and myself, this paper discusses the results of a survey of the Austrian public's attitudes to, and pereptions of, global climate change. Issues that emerged as important in the study are: 1) people's inability to disassociate the greenhouse effect from the ozone hole, 2) the belief that climate change is already occurring, 3) the potential role of various methods available to combat global climate change, and 4) the lay public's environmental values. These issues are identified from twenty person to person interviews which took place in Vienna during June and July of 1991 2 .

This paper discusses the effects of the ongoing debate concerning the greenhouse effect in Sweden on the general public in the town of Umeå. Issues that are seen to be of importance include: 1. the people's inability to disassociate the greenhouse effect from the ozone hole debate, 2. the equity issues connected to the region, 3. people's attitudes toward the greenhouse effect, and 4. the solutions considered to be the best for solving the problem of global climate change. These issues are based on twenty four person to person in-depth interviews which took place during July and August of 1990.

Wetlands (WLs) in the landscapes are important for the GHGs production, ingesting, and exchange with the atmosphere. In this chapter, the authors illustrated how the WLs influence climate change, even though it is typical for determining the climatic role of WLs in the broader perspective. The conclusions might be wary based on the radiative balance as the radiative forcing since the 1750s or climatic roles are continuously changing in the wetlands. Degradation of WLs leads to reducing their functioning, and GHG fluxes might change and alter the climatic roles of the WLs. The chapter demonstrated that WL disturbances might cause global warming for a longer duration even though the WLs are restored or managed by replacing them with the mitigation WLs. Thus, activities that cause disturbance in the WLs leading to carbon oxidation in the soils should be avoided. Regulating the climate is an ecosystem service in the WLs; during the planning of the WLs, protection, restoration, and creation, environmental management should be considered.
