Global warming

In your July 20 issue, you published an article titled “Democrats, evangelicals team up on global warming.” 

Although deep within the article is an indication that global warming is not seen by all as the threat indicated in your title, to present this view with emphasis of one political party is highly inappropriate in a Baptist paper. 

When he was environmental director of the American Water Works Association, John B. Mannion described environmentalism as: “To be an environmentalist once meant being on the side of the angels, lined up with Godliness, cleanliness and motherhood. The movement has, however, been subverted and used as a cover for other interests, chiefly antidevelopment, anti-industry interests, which, when scratched, are revealed to be anti-growth, anti-progress, and indeed, anti-social. The welfare of society and of people in general counts for less than the welfare of a given species of butterfly.”
