Newt Gingrich is one. As my fellow Terra Rossa contributor Whit Ayres pointed out last week, Newt has been feeling the heat for his position on climate [...]

The concept of “Creation Care” – that we have a responsibility to provide responsible stewardship of God’s Creation – is a common belief among many religious denominations.
Today 46 senior leaders in the Southern Baptist Convention, the largest Protestant denomination in the United States, signed a resolution urging their flock to do more to stop climate [...]

Many conservative thinkers (Newt jumps immediately to mind) have said Republicans need to start offering solutions to climate change based on our party’s principles. They’re right, of course – a strategy of denial will cost Republicans at the voting booth. My good friend and fellow Terra Rossa blogger Whit Ayres has already warned [...]

In case you missed it, the Rev. Pat Robertson recently commented on the climate debate in Washington, DC and cap and trade in particular. An acquaintance forwarded me this YouTube video of what he said.
It’s a reminder that a growing number of conservatives recognize we need an approach to environmental stewardship that doesn’t rely [...]

Over the last couple of weeks, we have talked about the remarkable coalition between big corporations and environmental groups that forms the backbone of the U.S. Climate Action Partnership. Both groups have taken a leading role in the discussion about the best way to cap carbon emissions.

Many liberals celebrate the fact that they are “secular,”¯ mocking the beliefs of religious conservatives. But there is a fundamentalist religion of the left today, and that religion is radical environmentalism.

The article quotes Richard Cizik of the National Association of Evangelicals, one of our bloggers. Cizik is just one of several influential conservative voices who will be contributing to Terra Rossa, providing a range [...]

Congressman Bob Inglis (R-SC4) came up with the triple play metaphor (jobs, pollution, security– see my previous post). The new head of the Christian Coalition and the former Deputy Chief of Naval Operations have a lot to say about these things in an Orlando Sentinel op-ed column.
