Do you believe in global warming? Do you believe in God? Is there a correlation?

I absolutely believe in God.

My belief about global warming is that the technology was not available to monitor such things before recent years. Now that we have the technology to watch snow melt, it has created a panic. For the most part, I believe the hydroplate theory ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD9ZGt9UA-U ) and the way it explains what is taking place.

That is, that during the global flood, much of the flood waters froze. They became the polar caps, glaciers, and icebergs that have existed ever since. In the 4400 years since the global flood, that ice has been melting. During that time, the ocean waters have been rising, covering land bridges that once existed. You can see the shallow waters that now cover those once existing land bridges.

Now, if this theory is true, as I believe it is, then nothing can actually reverse the process. The good news is that God is in control.

Rush is an actor much like Ann Coulter. Little of what they say reflects what they truly believe. In contrast, Alex Jones is sincere but his psychological makeup is deeply disturbed.

@Matt, you're thinking too hard. The reality is that there are too many interdependent and poorly understood variables to render a sensible judgment on man made global warming. The only way the intellectuals can distinguish themselves from the common people is by challenging the academic status quo. Independent intellectuals will always seek to distinguish themselves by opposing whatever arguments are popular at the time. This is easy in the case of Global Warming because certain industries are willing to fund research opposing the man made global warming hypotheses. In contrast, the US government (through the EPA and universities) has incentive to provide "feel good, world is ending" confirmatory research. With a real lack of imagination the government/university scientists get grants by setting up experiments designed to confirm expectations.

Yes I believe in global warming, no I don't believe in any gods.

This is what RL said:

"See, in my humble opinion, folks, if you believe in God, then intellectually you cannot believe in manmade global warming … You must be either agnostic or atheistic to believe that man controls something that he can’t create."

So is he saying that humans are unable to affect the environment?? What about deforestation? What about aerosols causing the ozone hole? What about all the other forms of human pollution like smog, Love Canal, etc?

Not sure what Rush is thinking here. His comments are almost as batty as Bill O'Reilly's "Tide goes in, tide goes out, you can't explain that" nonsense.

I wonder how much of this has to do strictly with religion, and how much is part of the liberal/conservative political divide.

it's backward. Typically, people of science tend to be agnostic or atheist. So, the statement should be "If you believe in Global Warming, you're more likely not to believe in God"

That being said, many scientists are perfectly happy to separate personal from professional lives.

Limbaugh is an idiot, trying to make the religious feel guilty about scientific evidence.

There is a slight correlation, but the global warming debate is more of a economic and political issue. If you look at who is actively opposing the scientists' conclusions about GW, you'll notice that it is largely conservatives, the GOP, and big industry leaders. The reason is that if GW is true and man made, then the liberals and democrats in the house and other administrations like the EPA will try to pass legislation to impose tighter regulations on our industries to limit green house gas emitting pollution, and support efforts and legislation to establish more green energy jobs.

This of course would make operating costs in these industries in question more expensive. In the long run that creates the risk of driving these already established industries out of business, or even causing their products to be more expensive which could lead to inflation in the market as a whole. Therefore, the GOP and conservatives oppose it for this reason, because tighter regulations they argue will further damage our fragile economy. The industries oppose it, because it hurts their wallets.

The only correlation that exists between the GW debate, and religion/Christianity is that it is the conservatives and big business leaders who oppose it have the largest majority of evangelical constituents. So it appears as though it is evangelicals who oppose GW (and this maybe a perception created by the democrats and climate change scientists who commonly accuse Christians of being anti-science. In other words, the perceptions is created that if you disagree with us GW supporters, then you must be a stupid, flat-earther, anti-science Christian). However, as I discussed, it is not a religious debate, but a economic/political one.

Global warming isn't a belief. It's an established scientific FACT. People should stop living in their glass rooms.

Rush Limbaugh is an idiot, but hey, I'm sure most of America already knew that.

I don't believe in God and I don't believe in a correlation between the two, save the fact that once again, belief in God is blinding some uneducated people of the very real dangers we face by not tangling the growing problem of worldwide polution before we get very real problems......

Global Warming is proven fact, "belief" has nothing to do with it.

I do not believe in any gods.

Yes, there is a correlation. God believers often do not care about evidence, and hence are more likely to disbelieve proven facts likes global warming, evolution, big bang, etc.

Climate change such as global warming is an observed fact, not a belief. This has nothing to do with being religious. I am very religious, but a understand and accept scientific facts like global warming and evolution.

Well, Rush Limbaugh is a ******* retard. But then again, if you do believe in God, you almost have to believe he himself created global warming and not the people.

God is a ******* asshole if he does exist, which he doesn't.

Rush limbaugh is a jerk ....but what radio talk show guy isn't ?? the cut people off ,are opinionated and have huge egos .Not to mention they get paid for ratings so controversy is a key ingrediant in their field . Certainly this is a bigger question than one short statement .Man has obviously not done a good job taking care of the planet and his inefficiency and ignorance ,not to mention greed has led to polluting of the planet .. that said the heart of man is evil and it will never change apart fromnew birth in chist. amns wanting to save the planet is as noble as man can get .. the sum of it is unfortunately anti-christ .It is the denial of christ and his death on our behalf , It is like the apostle saying "no lord you don't need to die " or "wash all of me "...Do it like this .
