Environmental Bible Thumping

Seems some evangelical groups are joining in the fight against global warming. Interesting read, especially the comments from Oklahoma Republican Sen. James Inhofe, who must be breathing in oil fumes out there in Okie land, saying that evangelicals are being corrupted by "liberals" in being convinced that poverty and the environment are more important causes than fighting abortion and gay rights.

Richard Cizik of the National Association of Evangelicals quotes Genesis 2:15: "The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it."
