Sarah Palin's Arrogance
Friday, February 19, 2010
Sarah Palin wrote on Twitter back in December:
"Copenhgen=arrogance of man2think we can change nature's ways.MUST b good stewards of God's earth,but arrogant&naive2say man overpwers nature"
That's not how most of the world's religious leaders think. From the Vatican to the World Council of Churches the message has been the same: climate change is real, created by humans, and a threat to God's creation. Even in conservative evangelical communities this reality - backed by science - is growing in acceptance.
The so-called "climate-gate" controversy has given skeptics new cause to question climate change but the science and the reality is clear. Only the politics - driven by under-educated leaders like former Gov. Palin - are in question.
We're here on Mt. Hood this weekend. There has been record low snow fall and the average world temperatures have risen dramatically.
What is truly arrogant is Ms. Palin's belief that she and others can do anything they please and profit in anyway they want regardless of the cost to all that God has created and given us stewardship over.
