"Evangelical Leaders Join Global Warming Initiatives'

Despite some opposition, many evangelical leaders are joining the global warming initiative. For my project, I am exploring how religious groups are using their faith and their leadership positions to impact efforts toward inhibiting the global warming cycle.

"Despite opposition from some of their colleagues, 86 evangelical Christian leaders have decided to back a major initiative to fight global warming, saying "millions of people could die in this century because of climate change, most of them our poorest global neighbors."

"Among signers of the statement, which will be released in Washington on Wednesday, are the presidents of 39 evangelical colleges, leaders of aid groups and churches, like the Salvation Army, and pastors of megachurches, including Rick Warren, author of the best seller "The Purpose-Driven Life."
