Non-Crisis
The Opinion Journal had a good article debunking the myths put by the environuts(a word which is used here to describe alarmists who predict major climate change due to human actions and demand major policy changes to address this so called "catastrophe").
Among the major points:
Among the major points:
A new study released this week by the National Center for Policy Analysis, "Climate Science: Climate Change and Its Impacts" (www.ncpa.org/pub/st/st285) looks at a wide variety of climate matters, from global warming and hurricanes to rain and drought, sea levels, arctic temperatures and solar radiation. It concludes that "the science does not support claims of drastic increases in global temperatures over the 21rst century, nor does it support claims of human influence on weather events and other secondary effects of climate change."And the rising seas:
As for sea ice, it is not melting excessively. Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans concluded that "global warming appears to play a minor role in changes to Arctic sea ice."Furthermore:
The U.N.'s IPCC Third Assessment Report concluded that the rate of sea level rise has not accelerated during the last century, which is supported by U.S. coastal sea level experience. In California sea levels have risen between zero and seven millimeters a year and between 2.1 and 2.8 millimeters a year in North and South Carolina.In case you're fuzzy on the metric system a millimeter is about the thickness of a U.S. dime. I'm not worried about the shore lines creeping in three dime thicknesses every year. I hope you're not either.

Climate change and global warming is caused by human activity - that is the 95% majority opinion of the world's scientists.
Gregg Easterbrook, a former skeptic, has just changed his mind about it here
David Attenborough, the British naturalist, has also just come out in support of man-centred global warming here
I don't understand why American evangelicals like yourself feel like you need to completely oppose this coming crisis. It's like you've put your hands over your ears, closed your eyes and said "I'M NOT LISTENING LA LA LA"
I know plenty of conservative evangelical Christians who believe that climate change is caused by humans, and who also believe that the world needs to act. They're not being unfaithful to God by doing so.
Christians need to take this issue seriously - they don't need to treat it like a joke.
