Q4. Do you think climate change will have an affect on Canada/Vancouver in...

What if we phrased it like this - Climate change will have a noticeable effect on Canada's environment in the next ___ a)25 years b)50 years c)100 years e)0 years - Climate change will NOT have a lasting effect on Canada's environment d) 0 years - Climate change HAS ALREADY noticeably affected Canada's environment. That way we can still gauge as Benjamin Black suggested perceptions about climate change/future. I feel that if our answers are e.g. 1=little effect through 5=devastating permanent effect as Anna suggested, they will not be as reliable and they will be harder to read/analyze since they are very open to different interpretations ('devastating permanent effects' will probably be very different for different people). Otherwise I think Niel's question: Climate change will have a lasting effect on Canada's environment in the next 20 years. (1) Strongly Agree (2) Somewhat Agree (3) Neutral (4) Somewhat Disagree (5) Strongly Disagree (6) Not Applicable is probably more concise and easier to answer. I would change the 20years to 50 years though.
