Pat Robertson Becomes A Believer Of Global Warming!
How will this play at First Evangelical Baptist Community Church? Probably very smoothly, without a blink.
Robertson’s been around for a long time. Maybe long enough that he needs to retire—sort of like Don Rumsfeld. Robertson’s come up with some doozeys in the last few years; I wonder what brought him to this remarkably sensible position. That doesn’t matter, in the long run, though—what matters is that he’s right.
Every blind pig will find an acorn now and then.

AlterNet's top story explores the eschatological fantasies of the religious right with respect to war in the Middle East. Or: why they want this conflagration to spread in order to bring about the End of Days.
Conservative Christian environmental statements have followed a similar pattern of tilting toward destruction -- reflected in its widespread rejection of Global Warming.
Sweating in the heat, however, seems to be clearing the good reverend's mind a bit. Watch as Pat Robertson becomes a Global Warming believer.
Conservative Christian news outlet Agape Press, which often runs anti-global warming reports, has already picked up the statement and run it uncritically.
