Visiting Trumplandia, Episode 3,756; Guardian Documentary On Bible-Thumpers, Global Warming
A new Guardian documentary, The Climate and the Cross, explores a battle among US evangelicals over whether climate change is real and a call to protect the Earth – the work of God, and therefore to be welcomed – or does not exist.
Evangelicals have traditionally been the bedrock of conservative politics in the US, including on climate change. But a heated debate is taking place across the country, with some Christians protesting in the name of protecting the Earth. One group has built a chapel in the way of a pipeline, and a radical pastor has encouraged his congregation to put themselves in the way of diggers. Meanwhile, a firm supporter of Donald Trump crisscrosses the country promoting solar power.
But there is still the traditional resistance: a climate scientist who denies that the world is warming, and a preacher in Florida who sees the fact he was flooded as a positive sign of a divine presence.
