Al Gore is the public face of the "man-made global warming" myth. In spite of scientific evidence to the contrary, he holds the myth with religious fervor. In a recent interview at the Social Good Summit, he said that if action isn't taken on global warming, "What's at risk is the survival of civilization as we know it" (Breitbart, Sept. 30, 2013). Gore was the U.S. Vice President under Bill Clinton (1993-2001), and like Clinton he was then a longtime member of a Southern Baptist church (Mt. Vernon Baptist Church in Arlington, VA). In a 2002 interview with Newsweek, Gore said, "I am a Christian. I am a Protestant. I am a Baptist," though he now says the SBC is too "fundamentalist." He grew up in a missionary Baptist church in Elmwood, Tennessee. But Gore's Christianity is typical of "evangelical" Christianity today in that he rejects a "literal" interpretation of the Bible and picks and chooses what he will believe from the pages of Scripture. If he believed the Bible, he would preach the gospel of Jesus Christ instead of the gospel of global warming and would warn about the sure coming judgment of God instead of a mythical destruction of civilization because of harm to the environment.
