Moyers & the Environment
Environmental Armageddon

In a December 2004 speech, Bill Moyers said that evangelical officials with end-times beliefs care more about the Rapture index than the fouling of the environment.



Welcome to Doomsday

Building off his 2004 speech, Moyers wrote this essay, in which he says: If you care about the fate of the planet, start worrying about fundamentalists eagerly awaiting the end of the world.



Jesus is Green

Moyers got it wrong, argues the Rev. Jim Ball: Evangelical Christians know that caring for God's creation is a scriptural imperative.
