I think it goes without saying that religion is playing a major role in how a lot of people are dealing with the issue of global warming. There are those who believe that the end of days are near and global warming is just part of the process, so they may say to themselves, "why be concerned with it now. I wont have anything to worry about once the rapture comes. It's all going to be destroyed anyway by great big balls of fire." Is it religion that is to be indicted for the lack of concern about global warming by most people, (not just in the U.S. but around the world), or do we just don't care and wont care until the earth is completely destroyed?
