Evangelicals Back Fight Against Global Warming

It is refreshing when I find I agree with a conservative. That is the case with the National Association of Evangelicals who this week met with scientists in Georgia and issued a statement regarding the environment and global warming. "Whether God created the Earth in a millisecond or whether it evolved over billions of years, the issue we agree on is that it needs to be cared for today," said Rich Cizik, VP of government relations for the National Association of Evangelicals.

The group has taken the biblical charge that gives humankind dominion over the earth to heart and feel that we must be wise stewards of our gift. Perhaps this will encourage our government to make some kind of move toward easing carbon emissions and slowing global warming.

There was a buzz that the White House might change its position on the issue at the upcoming state of the union speech, but sources in the White House deny that possibility. Figures. Unless it can make a profit for big oil or industry, Bush will have no part of it. The Decider always decides to come down on the side of business and against the American Public.
