    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; climate change knowledge; confidence in one´s own knowledge; risk perception of climate change;

    Abstract : Knowledge of climate change is provided by scientists. The issue is characterized by great complexity, as well as by scientific uncertainty.
