The word on climate change is getting out?

I just caught the tail end of a discussion on NPR where Katherine Hale, a climate scientist who also happens to be a conservative Christian and talks to Christian groups noted a big change.

She used to get questions doubting global warming-- things like the Martian ice cap melting, too. But now the questions she gets are "What can we do?"

A poem about how God made the world's resources perpetually renewable.

This is a common poem some Christians use to justify abuse to the land.

and here she sounds every bit as intelligent and confident in her work as the impression I got from the little bit I heard.

I'll be looking for more of her.
