The contribution discusses the relation of Slovenians towards weather and climate change. The results on a quota sample of 1311 Slovenians show they are aware of the weather and climate change. The changes concern them and many are implementing measures to alleviate the consequences. Special attention was devoted to farmers (252) and their answers. Some differences between them and other participants appeared, e.g. they believed in a greater degree than other participants that climate changes are also natural process, they perceived agriculture as less contributing to pollution, etc.References
