Why do you, think they do or do not?

I don't know that that's true. Some Christian writers are very pro-environment.

Since nearly all of the posters on this forum subscribe to fundamental Christianity, and since most of their pastors hold to the Republican persuasion of politics, and since Al Gore is obviously of the Democratic persuasion, it is true that the majority position (of posters) holds that there is no global warming -- hence, there is nothing for which to be concerned.
Dunderheads.

Quite a few non-fundamentalists post here. I'm one of them. Or am I? I do hold to the 1910 'five fundamentals' but beyond that I'm not too predictable, ranging from conservative to very liberal depending on the issue. And I have no idea how my pastor votes. In the 3 years I've been with my church (AG), I've not heard him say a single partisan word, except that he's said God isn't a Republican or a Democrat. But he does affirm the importance of good environmental stewardship.

The one great fallacy of fundamentalism is that we actually believe that while we are confessing the sins of others that the Lord will not look as intently on our own.
As I have gotten older, I have tended to become less dogmatic over certain issues: "(1 Cor 2:2 KJV) For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified."

When I was a fundamentalist, I carried the attitude of God is going to destroy it all anyway, so what does it really matter? I was sooooo wrong.
Though I don't buy into global warming, I do believe that God gave us this earth for a period of time and we should leave it environmentally better than the condition in which we entered it out of respect for God and those generations who will follow us.

As I have posted before, global warming or no, the earth is overall cooling down. The hottest temperatures on earth existed before there were men to record their temperatures -- approximately 4.5 billion years ago when the earth came to be. The overall temperature of the earth has been cooling down ever since. There are natural cycles of warming and cooling that are effected by the sun, the continents, and earth's rotation, but overall the earth's temperature is going down. In about 4 billion years the earth will be a solid frozen rock, if it has not been swallowed up by our expanding sun.
It may or may not be true that man's behavior has some localized affect on the earth's climate, but no amount of CO2 emmission can arrest the inevitable. To the contrary -- an increase in CO2 emmission would probably speed up the cooling down process. But to deny that we are currently in a localized warming trend, and that the warming trend is being affected by CO2 emmision, is to hide one's head in the sand.
