This Week on NOW: God and Global Warming
In August, NOW traveled with an unlikely alliance of Evangelical Christians and leading scientists to witness the breathtaking effects of global warming on Alaska's rapidly changing environment. Though many in the evangelical community feel recognition of global warming is in opposition to their mission, the week-long trip inspired new thinking on the relationship between science and religion, and on our moral responsibility to protect the planet. Travel with NOW and the expeditionary group on a surprising journey to find common ground between earth and sky.Web Extras:
* Dr. Eric Chivian and Rev. Richard Cizik reflect on their eye-opening journey to Alaska.
* Watch a photo essay of the Alaska scenery witnessed by the scientists and Evangelicals on their journey.
