The Real Al Gores

Warren Chu
10/27/2006


Al Gore is Hollywood’s environmentalist. But for the rest of America, there are Evangelists that care about out natural green world and about God. The Rev. Richard Cizik is one of them.

“Moyers on America” was a three-part series of documentaries by Bill Moyers, a Christian and an environmentalist. The Rev. Cizik opposes the Bush Administration’s decisions on Global Warming and other nature hazards. Why would evangelists not listen to Al Gore, but will listen to the Rev.? Even some evangelicals refused to go see “An Inconvenient Truth” even when offered free tickets. “When evangelicals hear their pastor speak out of the Bible, they respond. Never mind what Rush Limbaugh says. If their minister says this is an important issue, they’ll listen and they’ll act,” Cizik said. Cizik is just what the environment needs. He has proven that even under pressure from Republicans, he will stand up for his beliefs.

“I’m not going to be bullied by them or by Rush Limbaugh, who thinks the environment is just an issue for tree huggers. Well, we evangelicals are people huggers, and when our rivers are too polluted to swim in, when our children are getting asthma and mercury poisoning, isn’t it time we did something about it?” Cizik said. Rick Warren and Pat Robertson have decided to make the change and become an Evangelical Environmentalist.
