Via Right Wing Watch, ABC News recently ran a story about the Southern Baptist's declaration on global warming, highlighting the infighting among right-wing Christians on the matter. While the Southern Baptists have come around on the issue, Family Research Council's Tony Perkins maintains that the movement supporting action on global warming is yet another conspiracy by abortion-huggers and the gays:
He's also got a new book out, Personal Faith and Public Policy, in which he argues that Christians should welcome the storms and droughts that result from climate change as signs of the Second Coming. Rather than supporting public policy to curb warming, Christians should "look inwardly" and make sure they are "spiritually prepared to meet the End Times."
Because making the world a less hospitable place for future generations is clearly a pro-family stance.
