I think that many creationists simply believe that its a natural cyclical occurrence, rather than buying in to the political spin.
​
Even IF global warming isn't caused by us, would using less fossil fuel be such a bad thing? It isn't like there are no other ill effects.
​
It seems to me that "political spin" is just an excuse for yet another attack on science.

See, the issue is that they aren't really offering any viable solutions. Of those they are presenting, are they leading us by example?
​
No. The issue is creationists and their attitudes to the environment. Nobody else's shortcomings are on topic.
​
I'll rephrase my comment: Why aren't creationists more concerned about good stewardship of the planet? Why aren't they more vocal about saving fuel, etc.?

But it's best to steal the bait and spring the trap, for the safety of others.
