Global Warming is a Hoax*



*this is definitely one of the most provocative headlines I have seen Newsweek run.

Here is the article if you want to read it.

Here is what is really bothering me about this issue: Why do so many Christians deny its truthfulness? Is it because we have done any real research about it, or is it because of our strong connection with other conservatives and Republicans on issues such as abortion? Or... is there something I am missing on this?

I think that "conservative" and "liberal" are such useless labels sometimes. Issues need to be considered thoughtfully regardless of which party presents them.

So which is it:

a. Many Christians deny global warming because they are aware of good scientific research that refutes it
b. Many Christians deny global warming because it is not a "conservative issue"
c. Very few Christians actually deny global warming.
d. None of the above

I personally like Rat's opinion on the source of Global warming.
