US evangelicals launch green plan
A group of influential US evangelicals has
launched a campaign to persuade Americans that being a good Christian also means
tackling climate change. Bush wants to hire Charlton Heston to keep the waters
from dividing into blue and red.
A group of influential US evangelicals has launched a campaign to persuade Americans that being a good Christian also means tackling climate change. The 86 leaders are running prominent adverts in newspapers and on TV urging Christians and the US government to do more to cut carbon dioxide emissions. Evangelicals have been staunch Bush supporters but this push puts them at odds with presidential policy.
The religious right has embraced environmental issues in recent years, most notably with a “What Would Jesus Drive?” campaign against sports utility vehicles.
Better late than never.
