Um...Not sure where you came up with that supposed general consensus. The general consensus of Christians that I know are totally for helping the environment. The way I see it, God created the earth, so it's our job to take care of it. If we don't, that's pretty poor thanks and just proves how selfish we really are. Excessive toxic fumes from factories and things like that are destroying our ozone layer. It's not Christians, it's humans in general. It's not like all atheists do everything in their power to save the environment, just like not all Christians are out to destroy it. And the people who are under the impression that Jesus is literally going to destroy (blow up, blow away, etc.) the planet clearly haven't actually read the Bible.
