OR man's role OR both? I am finding it confusing at times to know if the many Christian critics of "Global Warming" are denying the clear patterns of melting and vanished glaciers and vast polar ice shelves OR if they are only denying that human activities are causing those climate changes OR if they are claiming a strong skepticism (or outright denial) of BOTH.
Secondly, do most evangelicals who deny whatever they define as deserving to be denied based their decision upon various Bible passages OR simply their review and analysis of the topic OR is it a skepticism related to the politics of this topic?
I'm not interested in a debate of the merits. I'm simply wanting to understand how/if religion impacts some people's opinions of these topics.

It is amazing how people assume that they know my personal position on these topics. I didn't even ask about the controversial aspects of the topic. I simply asked for how American evangelicals view Global Warming and the reasons why.
Personally, I don't know if humans play a significant role in Global Warming or not. I DO know that fresh water is becoming very problematic because of glaciers which have disappeared and snow melts that no longer lead to enough river flow for irrigation and the needs of the masses in many river valleys. But all of that is irrelevant because I asked questions related to RELIGION. (Indeed, I believe that a LOT of the Al Gore type of environmentalism is more like political correctness than science -- but, again, I'm not asking about MY beliefs. I don't have to. I already know them.
It is amazing how people assume that they can see inside people's heads (but can't).
