An article on the Huffington Post Green blog explores the connection between global warming denialism and religion. Evidence exists that many who deny the dangers of global warming do so out of religious conviction. A Pew survey asked the following question: "Is there solid evidence the Earth is warming?"
Physicist and author Victor Stenger breaks down the responses according to religious affiliation or non-affiliation, then lays out further details of a connection between evangelicals in particular and opposition to the consensus of climate scientists.
He gives the Catholic church credit for becoming increasingly green.
