Nearly four in 10 U.S. residents blame weather on "end times"

Nearly four in 10 U.S. residents say the severity of recent natural disasters such as Superstorm Sandy is evidence the world is coming to an end, as predicted by the Bible, while more than six in 10 blame it on climate change, according to a poll released on Thursday.

The survey by the Public Religion Research Institute in partnership with the Religion News Service found political and religious disagreement on what is behind severe weather, which this year has included extreme heat and drought.

Most Catholics (60 percent) and white non-evangelical Protestants (65 percent) say they believe disasters like hurricanes and floods are the result of climate change.

But nearly two-thirds (65 percent) of white evangelical Protestants say they think the storms are evidence of the "end times" as predicted by the Bible.

Overall, 36 percent point to end times and 63 percent to climate change.



I don't have the word to describe this...

I'm really going to be pissed if the end of the world is coming and I didn't jump on the band wagon.

Ugh, we're still cleaning up in areas like Long Island. Feel bad for those people...we got a bad storm, but their basements are filled with sand

I have to wonder where they get their data from with %'s that high. Everyone knows only a select few of believers can be right and everyone else will burn in eternal damnation.

I suppose that 36 percent are against Social Security and Medicare.
After all, of what use will it be?

Why bother? Spend weeks cleaning up only to have the world end next week?

Sometimes these christians who are so focused on these end times things and read so much into it that isn't there make me ashamed.

There are portents and omens. I'd say more but a shadow has descended over my face.

Garbage poll is garbage. That adds up to 99% of people. You mean only 1% believe that these weather things are part of a natural pattern/really aren't that far out of the ordinary?

I'm not saying that global warming isn't a contributing factor; I'm saying that I'm pretty certain more than 1% of people don't even believe in global warming, and I'd find it highly unlikely that this group is made up almost exclusively of religious nutcases.

That would make you Father of the Year, except you would never receive it as the World will have ended.

There is no reason a large portion of the 36% and 63% can't overlap.
