英文摘要 | Evangelicals have long been suspicious of scientific expertise. About 60% of evangelicals, a group which makes up approximately one-third of the US population, reject climate change. Many evangelicals allow the Bible to take precedence over science. Various non-scientific factors contribute to this pervasive skepticism. This paper lists several social and cultural factors that contribute to evangelical concerns, including religion, politics, education, and conservative media. The paper ends on a positive note, pointing out that young evangelicals are taking the lead in getting the word out, lobbying climate-denying politicians and educators, in addition to contacting young people in universities, places of worship, and through social media, sharing information about climate change with their peers, with the clear advantage of being from the same faith community. As a group, evangelicals present a formidable challenge to effectively dealing with global warming, but a few glimmers of hope are beginning to emerge. |
