I have heard that in the USA there are an awful lot of staunch christians who believe that doing anything to reverse climate change is a defiance of Gods will. The rational being either that humanity deserves to recieve Gods punishment (never mind all other species of plant and animal of course) or that Humans aren't responsible for it and it is simply Gods punishment, which is fine by them because they just love a bit of punishment.
Peter Garret was not averse to bible bashing people for 500km when they were trapped in a tour bus with him in the old days as an 'Oils' icon. Perhaps he could now have a word with that portion of the US constituency who think nothing should be done about looking after the enviroment. Might even convert a few who could then go on about it 'till dawn with their old friends.
