Most climate scientists and many Americans link extreme weather to Climate change. However, sadly 1 out of every three have an alternative explanation for all the droughts, wildfires, hurricanes, derechos, tornados, heat waves, and melting arctic ice:
A third of Americans believe the intensity of recent natural disasters is linked to the Apocalypse described in the New Testament, according to a poll released Thursday. […]
Seeking to explain floods and heat or cold waves, 36 percent of those surveyed, and 66 percent of Evangelical Christians, evoke the end of the world, said the poll by the Public Religion Research Institute/Religion News Service.
Fortunately 63% of Americans go with the scientific explanation that climate change is the culprit. So I guess that is encouraging news.
I blame zombies.
And dinosaurs.
Yeah i blame those mindless walking corpses and nearly(nessie) extinct dinosaurs too.
“A third of Americans believe the intensity of recent natural disasters is linked to the Apocalypse described in the New Testament, according to a poll released Thursday.”
I keep waiting for the religious right to connect the dots…
Repub Prez botches response to Hurricane Katrina…
…Repub convention delayed due to hurricane sent by God as a warning to be more compassionate…
…Romney disses 47%…
…Repubs lose Prez election because of Hurricane Sandy…
…Romney holds 47% of vote as in “by your own words you are condemned”…
…God tells religious right to vote Democratic next time.
But NOOOOO, they’ve got to skip ahead to the apocalyse.
