AGW denialism in christian circles springs from domnion theology, actually. The idea springs from Gen. 1:28 in the KJV:
Quote:And God blessed them [Adam and Eve], and God said unto them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."
So the idea is that, as god gave humans the world to own and control in toto, there is no way that he would have made the world in such a fashion that humans could actually turn around and destroy it (or to be more accurate, change the climate so radically that it becomes unlivable for most lifeforms including humanity). So because god said "I made the world for you, everything in it is yours" then the world cannot go through global warming. QED
