Religion, Science and the Climate Change Divide

Religion, Science and the Climate Change Divide

Copenhagen climate talks have drawn environmentalists from all over the world, including an American evangelical minister who is a true believer.

But one American evangelical minister at the talks wants to bridge political divides with a religious appeal. We explore "Creation Care" and the issues that divide religion and science.
