"I have never really understood why conservative Christians weren''t hardcore environmentalists"

because most "christians" are stupid idiots. They will be at a Nascar race praying for some "miracle on the asphalt" then support abortion by buying some chineeze krap.
"christians" have become more and more stupid and it is evident if you travel the country. A beautiful church with nicely paved parking and manicured landscaping is all that is important.
That and hating gaays.
that is why sooooo many churches say NOTHING about the support their members give by buying communist china products.
Of course, the chineeze will eventually become christians - when hell freezes over and Nascar idiots are completely sold out.

Christians distrust environmentalists because, for a large part, they are sinners of the first rate, liberals and other flotsam lost to eternal life forever and ever...

Was this sarcasm? while I don''t think of myself as an environmentalist. I certainly believe in make the air cleaner keeping the wild areas wild and unpoluted and can only dream of a time when we can create the needed energy for our civillization without polluting the air

Well, Mr. Meyer, your effort to show right and left where they may tread on common ground was commendable. Despite comments which do not edify either side, it''s worth trying again, if you''ve the urge.

What does a scientist do most of the day? You''d be surprised to know that the answer is: write proposals for funding. It''s amazing, if you add the clause "and the effects of Global Warming" to your proposal, your chance of funding and amount of the grant goes up astronomically...

Ozark- Read my post that begins: "Think about it" Then when you reach the only possible honest and logical answer tell us about how misguided and wrong you are.

"Bad science"- Tell the world that we are looking at bad science. Bad science in this case is only in the mind of narrow minded fools.

btw - johndevinejr - Why do you choose to generalize about the majority of the population with lies you know that are not true. You are the hypocrite because you are intolerant. You want us to accept what you say and then you call us what you really are. This Christian is a disabled vet who served his country to give you the right to post your blog, what have you done to serve your country? You are un-American because you don''t want to discuss facts, you only want to name call. How childish you are in your actions.

We don''t hate Gore. We hate bad science and ignorance used to line the pockets of Gore and his greedy corporate friends. When even a Judge finds that most of his movie is wrong and he is not a scientist but can discern facts, then why can''t people take a look around and realize the truth. They can''t explain away the fact that there are solar flares that are coming towards the earth, nor can they explain away the fact that between volcanoes and shifting plates beneath the ocean that massive amounts of toxic gas are being put into the atmosphere. They would rather you use Gore''s company and buy carbon offsets and line their pockets than think for yourself.

Think about it. Can anyone justify taking a chance that climate change is not real? Are you willing to gamble the planet on a maybe? The extent of change is unknown. Is there a run-away possibility that can''t be stopped. Are we willing to risk the possibility that our children will become toast? I''m not!
