Among white evangelicals, the view that the Earth is in crisis actually dropped — from 13% in 2014 to 8% today.

On the same day Pope Francis issued a new call for climate change action, a group of mostly mainline Protestant and Jewish leaders launched a seven-year campaign to advocate for meaningful climate solutions.Beliefs on the severity of climate change have not shifted much among religious traditions over the past decade and few religious Americans view climate change as a crisis, according to the PRRI study published Wednesday.

The survey of 5,192 adults in all 50 states, conducted online June 8-28, 2023, shows that despite growing climate calamities, American opinions have not moved dramatically. So far in 2023, the United States has had 23 separate weather and climate disasters that cost more than $1 billion each in damage, the New York Times. Those include Hurricane Idalia in Florida and the wildfires in Hawaii, which are believed to have killed 97 people. The month of August was the planet’sWhile religious Americans mostly agree that climate change is caused by human activity, such as burning fossil fuels, here too there are exceptions.
