Are Evangelicals Warming to Global Environmentalism

Evangelicals are beginning to accord a high priority to the problem of climate change, but controversy still exists. The recent progressive document, the “Call to Action” committing evangelicals to combating climate change, was countered by the “Call to Truth” challenging the legitimacy of the first document's claims. However, the countering arguments do not offer specific enough empirical evidence, nor do they propose a realistic threshold of scientific “certainty” for making political decisions. Evangelicals should be just as concerned about the means and honesty of their approach, and make real attempts to reach transparent consensus, rather than manipulate arguments in order to win partisan victories
