More evangelicals fight against climate change | Vancouver Sun
(WASHINGTON, DC) – The Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN) will be running TV spots in key states asking viewers to tell their Senators “that defending the EPA’s ability to reduce carbon pollution is the right thing to do.”
On Monday, May 25th, EEN’s President, the Rev. Mitch Hescox, will meet with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lisa Jackson, play the TV spot for her, and hand-deliver more than 40,000 messages of support from pro-life Christians.
“We’re happy to stand side by side with Administrator Jackson as the EPA leads our country in reducing carbon pollution,” Hescox says.
The TV spots highlight the extreme weather that has been plaguing the United States and point out that the poor in lesser developed nations are and will continue to experience more frequent and intense heat waves, droughts, floods and other harmful impacts due to climate change.
“You do whatever it takes to protect someone you love,” the video narrator says. “What about the less fortunate in poorer countries? Climate change is threatening their lives. Jesus taught us to care for ‘the least of these,’ and today this means working to overcome climate change.”

I can't help but wonder if the anti-religious group 'People For The American Way' will run ads against these "environmentalist evangelicals" claiming that by getting involved in politics they are violating the separation between church and state.
Somehow, I doubt they will.
