And finally, the environmental movement may have a new, unexpected convert — Christian televangelist Pat Robertson. In a segment broadcast on his television program “The 700 Club” Thursday, Robertson said “We really need to address the burning of fossil fuels. It is getting hotter, and the icecaps are melting and there is a buildup of carbon dioxide in the air.” As recently as October, Robertson blamed what he called: “far left environmentalists” for saying global warming is caused by human activity. Robertson’s new views may lead to conflicts with fellow Republicans. Just this month, Texas Republican Congressmember Joe Barton was quoted as saying: “I cannot imagine any objective finding that CO2 is a pollutant. If that’s true, God is a polluter.”
