The only two religious groups with sizable American memberships that I am aware of who are not listed here are the Muslims and the Mormons. Global warming is a religious issue. In order to forgo something today to preserve a tomorrow one will never live long enough to see, one has to be driven by an ethical system which is usually found in religious teachings.

Unprecedented anthropogenic CO2 buildup in the atmosphere is 'religious?' There are plenty of non-religious scientists who'd disagree. The evidence is enough to warrant concern. No higher-power is needed to see reality.

Religion is more commonly used to justify greed than to respect natural limits, so I'm surprised those groups are showing much concern. The usual position is that nature must yield to our increasing numbers and pollutant volumes lest some Biblical mandate be violated (see Genesis 1:28).

Global warming is definitely NOT a religious issue. It is an issue of pure science and the facts are not religious.

Cleaning up after ourselves, and taking responsibity for our waste, however, is based on ethics and morals so you might call Kyoto a religious issue. Do you want to be 'good' or 'evil'?

As against Genesis 1:28, there's the whole idea that God originally put man in a GARDEN and gave us responsibility for it. Also, the first chapter of Genesis tells us that God created the world, and 'it was good.'

I believe that many Christian and Jewish environmentalists would say that we're not being very good gardeners when we destroy the garden, and that if God has created the world and called it good, who are we to be degrading and destroying God's creation?

Other Christian environmental theology is based on various New Testament verses in which Jesus talks in parables about the religiously faithful servant as a 'good steward.' To be a good steward is to take responsibility and exercise care over what you've been given the stewardship of

To tell satanic FELONY LIES in a conspiracy to invoke MASS MURDER by weather chaos is definitely a matter for organized religion to involve themselves. Scientists CANNOT police themselves
