The 'christian' Right is scared about Creation Care [View All]

"Last month, James Dobson, the grandfatherly radio voice of middle-American Christian conservatism, told listeners of his Focus on the Family radio show that the National Association of Evangelicals' campaign to reduce greenhouse gasses evinced "an underlying hatred for America." How dare the group imply that global warming was a more important issue than gay marriage? His fellow conservative activist Rev. Richard Cizik, a political liaison for the National Association of Evangelicals—and a self-proclaimed Reagan Republican influential in anti-abortion and anti-gay circles—was not about to turn the other cheek. Cizik fired off a nasty letter calling Dobson's accusations "outlandish." On The 700 Club, Pat Robertson joined in, denouncing the evangelical version of environmentalism—"creation care"—and demanding to know why God-fearing conservatives like Cizik were teaming up with "far-left environmentalists."

We may not agree with some of these people on anything else, but I think that we need to support Pro-Environment Christians, regardless of their political ideology.
