Abstract
Among adults meeting for the first time, occupational questions commonly surface. This is true also in discussions about climate change. The question posed by this research is whether or not attitudes about climate change are influenced by occupation, particularly for those individuals who work in the oil and gas industry. To investigate this question, a survey has been conducted of engineering and technical professionals in the oil and gas industry as well as professionals in other science and engineering fields. This chapter provides the study’s background, methods, and findings that show interesting differences and a few similarities between professionals inside and outside of the oil and gas industry.
