Since when has any sane person believed anything el Rushbo has to say on climate?
Climate Change: Evangelical Scientists Say Limbaugh Wrong, Faith and Science Compliment One Another
Rush Limbaugh doesn't think we exist. In other words that evangelical scientists cannot subscribe to the evidence of global warming.
Specifically, during a recent segment on his radio show Limbaugh stated, "If you believe in God, then intellectually you cannot believe in manmade global warming."
Talk radio personalities often make hyperbolic statements. It is what their listeners expect and want to hear. But in this instance, Rush's uninformed rhetoric is demeaning to Christians who care deeply about what humans are doing to God's Creation and ignorant of the consequences that future generations will face if we don't respond quickly to the challenge of climate change.

Voices like Rush Limbaugh might be entertaining, but they can also become stumbling blocks. We're speaking out to remind people that Rush is neither a scientific authority nor a religious expert. People of faith know climate change is happening and believe God calls us to action.
