Climate Change, Christians and the Governator

In really great news, the Governator and Prime Minister Tony Blair have agreed to create a trading market for Carbon Emissions between California and the UK. Once in place, this system will limit amount of carbon participants are able to emit and allow affected industry to buy or sell their allotments, eventually providing financial incentive for reducing carbon output.

While you have to think Bush is annoyed that someone he campaigned for is ignoring his federal policy of ignoring the problem, he was probably overjoyed when a coalition of 100 evangelicals came calling to present their “alternative on global warming.”

With great lines like, “Our common Judeo-Christian heritage teaches that the following theological and anthropological principles are the foundation of environmental stewardship”, their web site makes for hysterical, if depressing reading.
