Faith-based research report: number of Protestant pastors who believes in global warming decreasing

Faith-based research report: number of Protestant pastors who believes in global warming decreasing: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"

Although this research is from America, it's intereting to see pastors' attitudes towards global warming, and also how often they address environmental issues.

The article didn't address this, but I'd also be interested to know how many Evangelicals get their views about the environment either from their pastor or from other evangelical leaders - although I suppose that would be a hard thing to find out, not least for the fact that so often we believe our ideas come from us and not from other people. Regardless of how many it is, I think it would be fair to say that if not many evangelical pastors strongly agree with man-made global warming and rarely address environmental concerns, that will have at least some (probably quite a lot) of influence on the way the people in their congregation think about climate change as well.
