ighly religious people are very likely to believe that the Earth is sacred and that humans have a duty to protect it. Yet many of them—and particularly those in certain Christian denominations—do not think that climate change is a big problem or that humans are causing it.
Among the most devout Americans who pray daily, attend religious services at least weekly, and say religion is very important in their life, 61% are climate skeptics. They either believe that global warming is caused by natural patterns, or feel unconvinced by the scientific evidence of human impact. In contrast, 29% of the least devout who seldom or never pray nor attend services, and say religion isn’t important in their life, hold the same reservations.
And yet, most religiously affiliated people—including a great majority of Christians—agree that God gave humans a duty to protect the planet, and that scripture has lessons about the environment. That may seem at odds with the high levels of climate skepticism, but the report points out that views on climate change are driven much more by politics than the pulpit—and that religious affiliation is highly indicative of political disposition.
Politics may have more influence on Americans than religion because, the survey found, climate isn’t generally a hot topic within congregations. Just 6% of U.S. congregants say climate change is a significant subject of conversation among fellow parishioners. And only 8% of congregants say that the sermons they hear discuss climate change “a great deal or quite a bit.”
Which says everything. FakeChristians
🤣
No, because it is ridiculous - 'Climate Science' requires a cult-like devotion. Its a doomsday cult. Over my life I have been 'called to the mountain' over & over for the imminent demise of the earth... they are always wrong.
This.
I would believe it if the people pushing it would adhere to the policies they make everyone else do.
Some peoples believes is what is convenient, not necessarily true
Look up conservationism versus environmentalism. The first is a practical approach to preserving the natural environment, the latter is an anti-human death cult.
everyone knows climate is static, duh.
Non sequitur much?
Probably because they know a scam when they see one.
What for?
Protect the earth 🌍. ? 🤣🤣🤣. Far far to late for that. The decline started years ago and is now getting momentum up. You can’t stop it. Just accept it and pray 🙏 your not around when the SHITE 💩really kicks off. 👍
Don't use prayers as an excuse to do nothing! Get off your knees and apply some of that good old practical wisdom!
Wouldn't it be nice if you could convey the science of climate change that everyone can understand?🌬️
Evangelical Christians don’t believe in protecting the earth because they are waiting on the rapture it’s why you can’t reason with them
There are Christian academics who are and have been writing and warning about the reality of climate change - Sandra Richter, Howard A. Snyder and Barbara Rossing amongst those who are.
How can you believe so called Science when it does not accept questions?
How do you fix the “climate crisis?” Let me guess… send democrats money 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Kinda like to stop racism you send money to BLM?! 😂😂
Bevause ... the root of all evil ... the lust for money.
😂 🤡
USA 'Christians' pray to their god or help. He sends them ten thousand climate scientists, but they ignore them. 🤔
Well define 'protecting the earth'. This poll assumes that climate change is the enemy.
fakenews against christians again
Saying climate change in “science” and must me trusted is a dumb as the vax “science”!
All the crazy people believe in climate change
Why would you trust anybody who would pray their crimes away or say something like, “God would or wouldn’t want that”. Crazy people=religious people.
😂😂😂
What?
U.S. Christians contradicting themselves? How on earth is that possible? Lol oh yeah… they don’t believe in Science. Maybe if they pray hard enough we will see some positive change. Oh yeah and I assume… the most devoted christians are GOP supporters…
“Science”. Bwahahahaha. It is opinion…not even a theory…and definitely not treatable and repeatable.
This seems more realistic to me as well and I’m definitely not religious.
How White Muslims feel with Islam 'Those who believe and do good, for them is happiness (in life), and a beautiful place of return (after death.)' Quran 13:29 more:
If that's true it was a poorly designed set of questions. Few would argue we are not influencing the climate. What's at issue is the insane illogical approach to framing the scope if it and the proposed solutions. The hypocrisy and poor policy and science is the problem.
Climate change has always happened…things like ice ages… What is a farce is the purported huge impact that humans have had since the Industrial age.

How can you protect earth if you don't even know what the problem is? From what are you protecting it from?
If you wanna push a climate bill..put climate shit in there. Not gender studies and foreign aid.
Christians 🤣
Praise Jesus and my F150 🙏
Cuz they're not christians you lazy bastards
You do know that climate change on our planet is cyclical... right?
Shocked to learn people who believe all the stories in the Bible struggle to grasp science
They believe in real Science, just not your particular scientific unproven theories regarding anthropomorphic climate change. 😉
Only when it's convenient. Right?
Nah, they want the earth to burn so they can have their Rapture.
Because what you decide is science is no more than superstition.. you ignore science and scientists who bring valid arguments to debate … you promote anti science
Want Christ walking across blue Malibu or slipping on TX Gulf Coast?
Because climate change is real but also a real NATURAL OCCURRENCE. We should take care of our home. Of course. We shouldn't poison our lands and waters. We should be responsible. We should NOT throw money into the Climate Scam.🙄
The moral obligation is to, 'Leave the world, a better place than we found.' Which is an direct quote from the band Rise Against. Again, 'If the meek was to inherit earth?' Than the carouse is that was the bureaucracy of climate change, anulled, An fair trade off for the toilet.
Because the conversation doesn't involve wrath honestly or calibrate it's effect within a general percentage point
Just say white Christians are mostly confused, and at best conflicted.
FarrahFazal Can you please proved information on what were some of the questions on the poll.
Since when were Christians ever noted for their intelligence?
🔴. ...we're talking about Republican Christian's ...right? 🤔°
Not surprising since they’re all in a cult.
What a bs statement😵
Science is not to be believed. It is to be examined, reviewed, considered and accepted at a point in time, with the viewpoint that it may change with further research.
If you structure something to look like prejudice it will Doesn't change your inability to listen and understand. Keep throwing red paint around.
Because those who are saying we need to act on climate change are you and they don’t trust you
What do Muslims think? What nations are the biggest contributors to pollution and what is the main religion in those nations?
Harriet_323 I remember when I thought Time Magazine was a significant publication. It’s hard growing up.
New study shows christianity was an inside joke that went too far.
There is no conflict: the climate changes at God's direction
I wonder why
climate change yes ...humans fault mmm no!
I wonder why. Massive literature says there have been previous warm periods. We are coming out of the Little Ice Age. 1983 EPA said in several decades sea level could increase 10 feet. It’s up 4-5 inches. Some warming is natural

Neye inanırsanız inanın yeterki dünyayı korumaya çalışalım.
it doesn't surprise me...
Who cares about their opinion on facts
Because science often denies a higher power that humans can work with for the greater good for all both planet and humans. The book of revelations speak of earth changes and the end times. So “In God We Trust”.
oh, no.. anyway..
Simply because the Christians ponder on the usual dishonesty of the foremost campaigners. The leading campaigners are known for hiding under issues like this to take advantage of the world and impose their idiocy on others.
It is a scam. Climate change happened for billions if years
Now poll communists on the practical utility of limiting manmade carbon on climate change. Everyone has their blindspots.
Thank God Christianity is the only religion on this Earth…..
My Time Magazines archives state different. What should I believe?
Don't tell me there's something illogical about religion.
The fallen angels.........get it
How many climate change scientists believe in God?
Science and the boogie man in the sky doesn’t mix well with many christians . Just look at the disinformation being peddled by special interests on social media. It’s rife.
Science is based on evidence, not belief. This is the why religions are so harmful. Religious people think that believing something is the same as knowing the truth. Faith is not knowledge.
The average American produces six pounds of trash per day and burns equivalent 10 gallons worth of fossil fuels. But it's not YOUR responsibility... Hypocrites.
Because all the real problems are about waste, pollution, and over-consumption. Why are hopeless climate change scientists and bandwagon sycophants in denial of this? Is it because they expect anyone but themselves to deal with the problems they create on a daily?
What is climate change 'science'? Can you even give a rigorous definition with respect to the scientific method using mathematical analysis and elementary logic? You are practitioners in dialectical materialism. Your arguments are ridiculous and endless loops.
There is no conflict in protecting ones environment and being alarmist about climate change. Your ideological bias makes you want to demonstrate that 'either you believe GIEC data or you don't give a damn about nature' and that is why you are losing audience.
Christians never contributed anything to science
'Earth is code for my personal wealth'
I don’t think they don’t believe there’s climate change. I think they believe the mesures the governments pretend to take are not attainable or easy to implement
That’s why some of us humans say fk religion. Good people would have done good without those infernal myth books. Bad people wouldn’t have an army behind them without the word of Santa god
