I should give credit when I notice religious groups doing something right, but I don't see it very often. Here is a story of an evangelist who is working with scientists who for advancing environmentalist causes. The rationale for Richard Cizik's lobbying efforts is 'God wants us to be a steward for the earth.' This sort of motivation is completely lost on me, but hey, whatever works for you. We all have to live here, taking care of our environment is a logical necessity.
The ironic thing is that there seems to be a larger resistance to the work of from other evangelists (amounting to silence or antipathy towards the environmental movement) who seem to think that man has been given the Earth to use and to go forth and prosper (and by consequence, waste natural resources as though they will never run out) and that climate change is God's will that we can do nothing about. Is that f*&^%d up, or what?
