Tell Rush Limbaugh to correct the record on faith and climate change
You recently claimed that "if you believe in God, then intellectually you cannot believe in manmade global warming" -- but all of us both believe in God and know that climate change is real. Indeed, caring for God's creation goes hand-in-hand with faithfully following God.
Since your statement has been proven false, we hope you will refrain from making similar claims in the future. Instead, we urge you to take seriously the threat that climate change poses to our future and respect the deeply held religious beliefs that inspire so many people to take action to address this growing challenge.

Why is this important?
Rush Limbaugh recently warned his listeners that “if you believe in God, then intellectually you cannot believe in manmade global warming.” According to Rush, faith-based climate activists simply don’t exist.
Imagine Limbaugh’s surprise to learn that there are thousands of us across the country – people of faith who care about God's creation. We need to send a message not just to Rush Limbaugh, but to everyone who believes that faith and climate action are incompatible.
