Environmentalist whacko

Ran across The Evangelical Ecologist, an interesting blog by a conservative Christian who also happens to be an environmentalist (for once that term isn't pejorative). His basic philosophy on the environment is dead on: God made the world for us and told us to take care of it. From his "about me" page:

Evolution and Creation - I don't think you can be intellectually honest as an environmentalist unless you're a Christian, since if everything in the universe came as a result of nothing+time+chance and we're all just going to die anyway, what's the point? I also don't think you can be spiritually honest as a Christian environmentalist unless you understand that God made the world the way He said He did. You certainly have no rational reason to save a species if you believe in natural selection and survival of the fittest, unless you spend every waking minute on your knees asking God which species He's ordained to save and which ones to go. Will you go to hell if you believe in Evolution? Naw. Will your ecology be consistent with the Gospel and evangelism? I haven't figured out a way to do that.

Yahtzee. Another thing I maintain about the environment is that the earth is far more powerful and self-regulating than we could imagine. Consider that Mt. Saint Helens emits more "pollution" than the entire industrial sector of Washington. Or this:

The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District [pdf] says every cow makes 20.6 pounds of methane a year. If they stick with this number, dairies would become the largest source of volatile organic compound emissions in the San Joaquin Valley, near Los Angeles.

More than painting operations. More than chemical plants. Even more than cars and trucks.

You think $3.50 a gallon is too much to pay for milk? You ain't seen nothin' yet.

I like this guy already.
