“There is a dramatic difference by age on this question. Half (51%) of voters under 35 believe it is at least somewhat likely humanity will be wiped out in the next decade or so. Only 12% of senior citizens agree, and only 4% of senior citizens believe it is very likely,” the survey said.
The survey revealed rural Americans do not share city-folks’ concerns. Of those surveyed, 21 percent of urban voters believe that our world will soon become uninhabitable. Americans in the suburbs and rural areas are comparatively unconcerned: six percent of rural voters and five percent of suburbanites believe imminent doom is upon the world. The study, which was released on Monday, asked the opinion of 1,000 registered U.S. voters.
Climatologist David Legates of the University of Delaware told LifeSiteNews in an email that the survey “only serves to validate H.L. Mencken’s argument about the aim of practical politics being only to keep the populace alarmed by imaginary hobgoblins.”
