Women over the age of 65 who live in urban environments are the most likely to worry about climate change, while working-age, rural males were the least likely to, according to a new survey conducted by Statistics Canada.

The government agency’s Canadian Social Survey collects information on a variety of social issues quarterly and has recently begun asking Canadians about climate change.
