Paul Douglas, a well-known Minnesota meteorologist, believes in the science of climate change and has written a book on the subject. He is also an Evangelical.

The book, “Caring for Creation: An Evangelical’s Guide to Climate Change and a Healthy Environment,” hit the bookstores this month. It is co-authored by the Rev. Mitch Hescox, president of the Evangelical Environmental Network.

“I figured if people didn’t want to hear from scientists, maybe they’d listen to a minister and a meteorologist,” said Douglas.

Douglas’s argument is that climate change is irrefutable and it is a Christian obligation to care for the planet and all that God has created.

Some of the book’s solutions for combating climate change focus on renewable energy such as wind and solar, which Douglas describes as “cheaper, clean, homegrown American energy” that can lead to “energy freedom.”

Will the book’s pious message resonate with skeptical Evangelicals who view climate change, a.k.a global warming, as a hoax to grow big government?

For hardcore Evangelicals who support Donald Trump’s view that climate change is a myth concocted by the Chinese to give them a competitive manufacturing edge, I’m giving the effort, though commendable, a snowball’s chance in hell.
