Paul de Vries, president of New York Divinity School, said: "However we treat the world, that's how we are treating Jesus because He is the cosmic glue."

The amount of energy given off by the sun combined with the methane (a far greater heat trapping gas) given off by vegetation and the ocean floor, combined with the carbon dioxide given off by volcanism and other sources
FAR far, out weigh any meager influence man kind has by burning fossil fuels

Yawn. Liberals try again to hijack another movement ...
"However, the names of most of the president's most influential Christian political backers were notably absent..."
These are not Christian 'leaders', but a group of liberal Christians trying to make noise .... and the liberal media trying to hype it up

With God's help, we can stop global warming for our kids, our world and our Lord.Unless the omnipotent God Himself intervenes, our modification of His Creation is with His tacit approval.

kicking off a campaign to mobilize religious conservativesHow quaint. Now they use the term "religious conservatives" for those in the religious community who support the global warming lie. I thought a religious conservative was one who believed in the inerrancy of Scripture? Guess the liberals can use it whichever way suits their purpose.

Evangelicals urge action on global warming
The title gives the impression that the majority of Evangelicals are urging this action. A cursory reading of this article shows that it is composed of 85 Evangelical "leaders". I'd like to know their names because I doubt that any of the prominent and well known ones belong to that group ( James Dobson ? Billy Graham ?, Bill Hybels ?, Rick Warren ?, Philip Johnson ? ).
Secondly, I'd like to ask these Evangelicals where it says in the Bible, which they presumably consider infallible, that global warming is caused by humans.

"..we can stop global warming.." What arrogance! to think that mere humans can do anything about the climate.
Sacrilege.

I had heard that global warming was a myth. 'State of Fear' author Michael Crichton seems to think so.

Rick Warren, Wheaton College and others we are talking about here, and they are going more apostate as the days pass. They are not liberal lefties...
Read about Rick Warren's Peace Initiative here, 4 parts, this is the first.

Time for the MSM to pull out that NASA guy reiterating the debunked UN "hockey stick" study.

Wow. I find that so discouraging to hear from people who are apparently trying to follow Christ but not at all committed to sound reasoning or logic. What are the odds that these guys can give a reasonable accounting for their faith as the Bible requires of us? No matter the topic, these examples of Christians who will fall for anything (junk science) always make me think that they are just making us all look bad, as if we don't get enough people thinking that our beliefs have no logic or evidence backing them up.

God's plan includes the Sun exhausting its Hydrogen fuel and start burning Helium. This will turn the Sun into a Red Giant.
FOOMP!

A group of 85 evangelical Christian leaders on Wednesday backed legislation opposed by the White House to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, kicking off a campaign to mobilize religious conservatives to combat global warming.Uh, excuse me? What evangelical "leaders"? Did anyone bother talking to evangelicals themselves about whether a group of writer and so-called "Emergent Church thinkers" represent the evangelical movement?? Huh? Probably not.
...The launch of the campaign represented a possible split in President George W. Bush's political base, in which Christian evangelical voters are heavily represented.
Oh yeah, right. We're all going to vote Green Party. What a freakin' joke.
Just like when the LameStream press tries to convince us American soldiers are flushing Korans and torturing Muslims for fun, they're now truly deluding themselves: they actually believe they can define Evangelical Christianity when 99% of them probably have never been to a worship service at an evangelical church. (Covering funerals and getting video for a "hit piece" on Jerry Falwell doesn't count.)
