addressed the UN General Assembly last week, dubbing so-called
"climate change" as "the defining challenge of our time," the
Barna Group asked Americans what they thought about the
controversial topic and whether they believe man is responsible
for the phenomena. <a
href="https://www.barna.com/research/humans-responsible-global-warming/#.V-3hJiSfy_4%20">Are
Humans Responsible for Global Warming? Barna Research</a>
With climate change being taught and promoted in the schools,
media and entertainment industry as black-letter law, rather
than a theory – in the same fashion as Darwinian macroevolution
– the Barna Group was not surprised to find that those showing
skepticism as to whether climate change is manmade are far
outnumbered by those who claim human responsibility....asked
whether humans caused climate change and/or global warming,
seven in 10 adults say either yes, absolutely (42 percent), or
yes, possibly (29 percent)," Barna researchers reported.
"Skeptics make up around one-fifth of all Americans, answering
either no, probably not (10 percent), or no, definitely not (11
percent). Another one in 11 are not sure (9 percent)...."[F]ewer
than one in five evangelicals (19 percent) believe humans
absolutely caused climate change and/or global warming -- to
compare, this is less than half the national average (42
percent),"</div>

and scientists say the warming climate is to blame....But
climate scientists now warn that the droughts are getting worse
and could lead to the desertification of the region, making it
impossible to sustain agriculture....The latest drought, which
began in 2012 and has lasted five years, is the worst for over a
century....Without water for animals, crops and their own
consumption, hundreds of thousands of people will have to leave
the rural areas and go to the towns and cities....This alarming

politicians, who over the decades have used the droughts to
further their own careers.</font> <br>
