Christians and "The Day after Tomorrow"

I never thought I would ever see this in my life time, but then again, since the article was printed by the NY Times, I should have guessed.

Ok, so I don't buy it. Now from what I learned in Biology and Earth Sciences in college, Global Warming, according to the facts may be more of an issue than Rush Limbaugh would make it out to be, as Rush is an sensationalist entertainer, good at his job, and knows it. I respect him for that, listen to him occasionally, and agree with him more often than not. I'm not so concerned that Evangelicals have banded together on this issue as much as I am the politics of it, the spinning that will take place, and what might come of it. Since the Evangelical Christian base is pervasively tied to the GOP (or the perception is as such, as Bush vivaciously sought that critical demographic in the contest in '04), democrats and liberals on the other can now say: "look at this, we were right all along and even some of your own "see the light now" so do something about it".

Personally, I'm more enclined to side with Colson and Dobson on this one - there are other issues that are being dealt with out there that are more important. However, in my thinking, if the government and the private sector do a good job in the next 6-10 years of creative effective alternate fuel technology (such as a greater amount of ethanol as fuel) so that we are less dependent on foreign oil, I also think this could assist greatly in enviromental issues as well.
