Sojourners quote of the week...

"And it is getting hotter, and the ice caps are melting, and there is a buildup of carbon dioxide in the air. And I think we really need to address the burning of fossil fuels. If we are contributing to the destruction of this planet, we need to do something about it."

- Pat Robertson, admitting on his television show, The 700 Club, that recent heat waves have convinced him of the reality of global warming.

Robertson Says He Now Believes in Global Warming
By Adelle M. Banks

August 4 - The overwhelming heat that blanketed much of the East Coast in early August has convinced religious broadcaster Pat Robertson that global warming is a reality.

"It is the most convincing evidence of global warming I've run into in a long time," Robertson said Thursday (Aug. 3) during his "The 700 Club" television show. He previously had been critical of claims about the dangers of climate change.

Robertson's reaction to the hot weather is the latest pronouncement in a year that has featured different sets of evangelical leaders issuing statements and counter-statements about whether or not global warming is a serious, human-caused threat.

"I have not been one who believed in this global warming, but I tell you, they're making a convert out of me with these blistering summers," Robertson said on his show the day before his Thursday statement.
