[quote]The United States has failed to take action to mitigate climate change thanks in part to the large number of religious Americans who believe the world has a set expiration date. Research by David C. Barker of the University of Pittsburgh and David H. Bearce of the University of Colorado uncovered that belief in the biblical end-times was a motivating factor behind resistance to curbing climate change. “[T]he fact that such an overwhelming percentage of Republican citizens profess a belief in the Second Coming (76 percent in 2006, according to our sample) suggests that governmental attempts to curb greenhouse emissions would encounter stiff resistance even if every Democrat in the country wanted to curb them".[/quote] It seems to me that it might be a large factor in why the neo cons don't really care about taking action towards climate change. That's actually a frightening thought that a major political party could be anticipating the apocalypse. What do you think? Considering most conservatives are also christians is this theory plausible?
