Greening the Evangelicals

How solidly Republican will Christian evangelicals be in 2008? As the country enters the next phase in this historic election season, concern about the state of God's earth may be the issue that draws many believers into the Democratic camp. Richard Cizik of the National Association of Evangelicals estimates that perhaps 40% of evangelicals will be "up for grabs" in November.

Christianity: Occasionally doing the right thing, but for the wrong reasons.

C02 is not a polutant. Anthropogenic climate change cannot be proven. The graphs showing CO2 and global warming and cooling demonstrate that the warming comes first not the CO2. Heat is the driver, not C02. While creation is 'our' issue, it is not in our interest to join forces with the hoax. There is global warming, but just like it in centuries past, the temperature rises and falls. It did this before America, before my Chevy Suburban. Ice caps on Mars are melting. Not because of C02.

I think its great that Evangelicals are getting on board for this issue. We as humans have to protect God's creation.
