I had believed many Christians held the position global warming isn’t real or that any environmental efforts were purely secular. I probably gained this opinion from hearing it trickle down from one authority figure to another. My mom continued, “There was a church we used to attend that was very conservative, and they believed in dominion, that people have dominion over the earth. And, because of that, their opinion on global warming was that they didn’t believe it was real.”  My suspicion was correct then: it was authority figures who were responsible for my association between Christians and anti-global warming — a viewpoint I’ve rejected in my adulthood.
