Last Thursday, Boxer held a hearing that highlighted the growing role of religion in liberal political campaigns—particularly in the name of “environmental justice.” There, a coalition of 35 religious denominations called for an 80 percent reduction in global warming emissions by the year 2050, and bill S.309, sponsored by Boxer and avowed socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I.-Vt.), calls for the same.
“Evangelical Christians, Catholics, African Methodist Episcopals, Jews, mainline Protestant Christians, and many other people of faith see the need for action on global warming as a moral, ethical and scriptural mandate,” Boxer said.
She explained, “People of faith contacted us recognizing that science says global warming’s effects will fall most heavily on poor people. All we have to do is look at what happened during [Hurricane] Katrina, even in one of the world’s wealthiest countries.”
I would like to know why it’s ok to talk about global warming and religious doctrine in the same breath. Why are they allowed to talk about religious beliefs and climate change as a moral imperitive of religious believers? On issues such as marriage and abortion, people are criticized for “imposing morality” or “imposing religious beliefs” if you talk about those issues as moral issues.
because in this case, it is convenient and helpful for the left to talk about it here...even if they are lying through their teeth...
