Climate Change and Faith

Guest: Katharine Hayhoe, Ph.D., Director of the Climate Science Center at Texas Tech University  The Pope’s encyclical calling on Christians to embrace their responsibility as stewards of the Earth was discussed yesterday on Top of Mind. There’s often a tension between religion and environmentalism. So, too, is there a long-standing tension between science and religion. Climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe wrote an entire book about that tension as an evangelical Christian. It’s called “A Climate for Change: Global Warming Facts for Faith-Based Decisions.”
