Fig. 2: Correlates of Belief in the Anthropogenic Causes of Climate Change in Latin America.

Results from an ordinary least squares (linear probability) model regressing the perception of climate change anthropogenic causes on a set of independent variables (A) and socio-demographic characteristics (B). Respondents from all countries (n = 2,883 observations) are included in the model. For each independent variable, point estimates of the coefficients and confidence intervals, in brackets, are reported. Coefficients multiplied by one hundred are percentage point changes in the probability of believing climate change is mainly caused by human activity given a unit increase in the covariates. The width of the confidence intervals for each coefficient is 95% with heteroskedasticity-robust standard errors. Reference baseline for Education is “Elementary (Primary) or less”, Religion is “Atheist” and Income is “0–1 minimum wages”.
