Related: About this forumThe word on climate change is getting out?
I just caught the tail end of a discussion on NPR where Katherine Hale, a climate scientist who also happens to be a conservative Christian and talks to Christian groups noted a big change.
She used to get questions doubting global warming-- things like the Martian ice cap melting, too. But now the questions she gets are "What can we do?"

(28,183 posts)1. Hopefully, her favorite poem isn't "God's Grandeur" by Gerard Manley Hopkins.
A poem about how God made the world's resources perpetually renewable.
This is a common poem some Christians use to justify abuse to the land.

(43,049 posts)4. Thanks. As I said, I just got the tail end of it...
and here she sounds every bit as intelligent and confident in her work as the impression I got from the little bit I heard.
I'll be looking for more of her.
