Abstract: This study investigated the awareness about the threats of global warming and the attitude of a random population to actively participate in supporting research and development of novel methods to mitigate the consequences of global warming. The survey includes responses from 195 randomly selected people of various profiles. The study found that the respondents generally consider global warming to be a real problem and a threat to our society and that the governments and corporations are not doing enough to deal with global warming. Respondents felt that they can be responsible consumers and choose green products and services to prevent pollution, and believe there is still time to change our behavior by cutting emissions and pollution levels in order to prevent global warming. Additionally, the study found that a small but significant percentage of respondents considered investing a larger amount of money in a safe project that develops methods to reverse global warming. Finally, the reasons for these attitudes are discussed as well as the possible solution for the problem.
