Question: how specifically do religious beliefs hurt our ability to fight global climate change? I've heard rumblings about this, but haven't paid much attention to it yet. The religious people are generally the ones that deny science the most (but not always), so is that simply a part of it? Climate change is one of the biggest political issues of our time. Me, I'm not 100% convinced that religious beliefs thwart efforts to combat climate change, but the regressive nature of religions might. I don't know. YOUR opinion?
i'm confused. we have the pope, the head of the roman catholic church and god's representative on earth for over a billion souls, publicly denouncing those who question acc and we have religious leaders around the globe pretty much split between jumping on the global warming bandwagon and just sidestepping the issue altogether. despite all this there are clowns out there that insist on painting the religious as backward hicks. i've got news for y'all, the church is no longer burning witches and heretics. aside from a few foolish tribes of ultra-fundamentalist literalists, the religious look on scientific discoveries with the same skeptical eye that science itself should adopt. it is, however, refreshing to see someone admit that the climate change agenda is a political one and not purely a matter of science.
Uncle Ferd got Heat Wave playin' on his stereo...

As a die hard Christian I can honestly say that my religion has nothing to do with climate change. Yes, we Christians do believe in science you know and climate change is science. Do I believe people are responsible for it? Nope, but Jesus didn't tell me to say that, you know, He actually did give me a brain to make up my own mind.
Florence, Mangkhut and Climate Change: Yes, No and Maybe... Florence, Mangkhut and Climate Change: Yes, No and Maybe September 15, 2018 - The seas are angry this month. While the remnants of Hurricane Florence soak the Carolinas and Typhoon Mangkhut pounds the Philippines, three more tropical cyclones are spinning in the Western Hemisphere, and one is petering out over Southeast Asia. Experts say some of this extreme tropical weather is consistent with climate change. But some isn’t. And some is unclear.
