Answer: Nothing, as theologian Cal Beisner explained on Tuesday at the Fourth International Conference on Climate Change, hosted by the Heartland Institute. Jeff Poor of Newsbusters reports:
According to Beisner, the belief that fighting global warming was a component of helping the poor was specifically used by the Evangelical Environmental Network and endorsed by others to make this case.
Quote
"They jump quickly from, ‘We need to help the poor,' to ‘global warming is going to hurt the poor, therefore we need to fight global warming,'" Beisner said. "In 2006, a group - the Evangelical Environmental Network launched a new project called the Environmental Climate Initiative, which put out a statement, ‘Climate Change: An Evangelical Call to Action.' And that statement was endorsed by 86 different leading evangelicals - presidents of the evangelical colleges, admission organizations. And I went down the list of endorsers. There was no list of authors of that. I later found out the main author was an ethics professor named David Gushee. When I debated him over that at this university, he told me before the debate, ‘You know when I was preparing for this debate, I found out the science was a whole more nuanced than I realized when I wrote the paper.' I thought, ‘David, you should have known that before you wrote.'"

Pretty much the same thing the Bible says about it, which is nothing.

I thought I would start an equally inane and pointless thread, just like our resident loon.

I have no idea. My guess is nothing, which is the same as the Bible.

The difference is, there are actually people who profess to be "Christians" who are claiming the Bible does speak about it, and USING that claim to influence the uninformed and the ignorant in their beliefs.....The FACT that you do not understand this, or Even care simply shows that you yourself are either uninformed or ignorant of this.
