It's amazing how the mere mention of climate change gets the posts moving quickly. It's really just one more example of political polarization, a required point that must be bought into, not because facts support it, but because it fits with the political agenda of those who want to make everything fit into "liberal" or "conservative" categories. Acceptance of global warming as fact, and the intertia of resources and actions being taken in a positive direction to reduce greenhouse gasses and work toward solutions to prevent further damage, and to resolve what can be fixed has such widespread, global support, that the little, reactionary faction in the US doesn't have the power to stop it. It's really not a "liberal" vs "conservative" issue anyway. Among the science teachers and professors I know who are evangelical Christians, and I know quite a few, I can't think of one that is a global warming denialist, and several of them are actively involved with Christian groups that promote stewardship of the earth as a position derived from a Biblical worldview.
As far as Todd Starnes is concerned, I do remember him making some posts here. I met him, years ago, when we were both participants in a mission project in Cherokee country, in Northeastern Oklahoma, doing rehab work for some low income homeowners. We shared a couple of lunchtime conversations about topics long since forgotten. I think he was working for Baptist Press at the time. I don't really pay much attention to Fox, and the first time I heard him on the radio, with a brief report from somewhere, I looked it up to see if it was the same guy, and it was. Interesting that a guy who no longer works for Southern Baptists, mainly because of poor quality journalism, and a habit of getting the facts wrong, in other words, lying, winds up at Fox, where that kind of propaganda and fact twisting is not only welcome, but affirmed and celebrated.
Now here's one of those places where I might agree with Jon, that the Bible is clear when it comes to lying. But apparently, if the liar is a conservative commentator, and is bashing liberals, it's OK.
A little something on Mr. Starnes.
