Evangelical scientist says global warming is real: Christians angry!

Read Time:1 Minute, 6 Second

When Katharine Hayhoe was faced with telling a group of petroleum engineers in the heart of the Texas oil patch that the main culprit for climate change is humanity’s consumption of fossil fuels, she expected push back and she got it.

Here’s the story summary from Newser:

Who better to talk about global warming in West Texas than an evangelical Christian? That’s what gives geoscientist Katharine Hayhoe an edge in her crusade to convince people around Lubbock, Texas, that greenhouse gases are harming the environment, the Miami Herald reports. “People ask me if I believe in global warming,” says the Texas Tech professor. “I tell them, ‘No, I don’t,’ because belief is faith. … Science is evidence of things seen.”

Whether she’s facing oil engineers or business students, Hayhoe speaks a language conservative Christians understand—about guarding God’s creation and loving your neighbors. But she still runs into furious opposition along the West Texas Bible Belt. The rising star among climatologists says she changes about one mind per seminar. “To have an open mind,” she says, “we have to use the brains that God gave us to look at the science.”

Perhaps there is hope after all, when a Jesus Jumper goes all contrarian on the serious believers.  What do you think?  Will the crazy God bangers go after the evangelical scientist?
