After all, if global warming is truly a ‘religious issue’.

The left-wing Center for American Progress (CAP) Tuesday enlisted the help of clergy members to argue that "global warming" is not just an environmental issue. "At its core, it's an ethical, moral and religious issue," said John Podesta, president of CAP and a former White House chief of staff under President Bill Clinton.

Podesta added that it is our duty to "protect the environment, to protect God's earth, and to protect the poorest people."

CAP plans to try to raise public awareness to the allegedly drastic climate change. It will attempt to place liberal climatologists on popular television programs and sponsor public service announcements. Partnering in that effort are religious leaders.

John Carr, secretary of social development and world peace for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said that as a result of climate change, the world's poorest people are suffering from famine and drought.

"John Paul II said it was a moral and ethical challenge. When the pope says something is a priority, you do something about it," said Carr.

Who do they think they are, trying to impose their religious values on me?

After all, liberals have been telling us for years that legislating morality is un-American and a violation of the rights of those whose faith and values tell them something different. Could it be that such rhetoric – usually trotted out to oppose conservative Christians who seek to protect unborn human life or oppose sexual immorality
