Christians Gather Against Global Warming*
May 15, 2008
CBNNews - Some evangelical groups have said it's a Christian's duty to
fight global warming.
But a number of Christian Conservatives who gathered in Washington
Thursday disagree.
They presented a moral case for slowing down the climate change fight.
"Many hundreds of scientists are saying 'wait a minute. What we're
seeing as the consensus or what's purported to be the consensus really
isn't a consensus of scientists. That there is uncertainty, there is
disagreement,'" climatologist, Dr. David Legates, said.
Sen. James Inhofe says he used to believe in global warming till he
really started to study the science, and he no longer buys what
pro-climate control groups like the National Academy of Sciences and the
United Nations claim.
"Just keep in mind they're the same guys who back in the 1970s were
saying another ice age is coming and we're all going to die," he said.
"So we thought we'd really look at the science and we did."
Inhofe states the science is flawed and schemes like the Kyoto Treaty
and others will cost hundreds of billions of dollars and send food and
energy prices soaring. And who gets hurt the worst by that?
"It disproportionately hurts the poorest of poor people," he explained.
"We're simply going to increase the hardship that the poor and
vulneragble in this country and around the world are already
experiencing," said Dr. Barrett Burke of the Southern Baptist Convention.
The Family Research Council's Tony Perkins says he doesn't want his
generation remembered as naïve Americans.
"You can be green without being gullible," he said.
