Poll: More than One-third of Americans See Signs of End Times in Extreme Weather
posted on December 14, 2012For Religion News Service, Lauren Markoe reports that a recent poll by Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) suggests that more than a third of Americans consider the severity of recent natural disasters as a signal of the “end times” described in the New Testament. However, another poll conducted by PRRI finds that the majority of Americans connect the extreme weather to climate change. Daniel Cox, research director for PRRI, said, “They’re experiencing the same weather, but how they perceive it is very different.”
