Evangelicals fight global warming
The New York Times (free registration required) reports that evangelicals have a new cause.A core group of influential evangelical leaders has put its considerable political power behind a cause that has barely registered on the evangelical agenda, fighting global warming. These church leaders, scientists, writers and heads of international aid agencies argue that global warming is an urgent threat, a cause of poverty and a Christian issue because the Bible mandates stewardship of God's creation.It'll be interesting to see if the Administration listens to religious arguments on a subject that's not abortion or gay marriage. My guess? Naww. Unless the evangelicals come up with a novel twist - something like "gays who want to get married love global warming". Maybe that would get the Administration's attention.
