I live in a rural community and work directly with farmers. All believe in climate change but many are also evangelicals and feel that man is not the cause of climate change - God is - and God will take care of it.

Almost no one believes that man is causing it.

Even the hoxers admit that there is noting that we can do to stop it.
The best that we can do is spend a fortune virtue signaling how much we care.

Not a farmer, but honestly know very few people who live along coast, major waterways, or tidal areas who are not well aware of the changing climate and rising sea levels. And every conference I've attended hosted by FEMA, Army Corp of Engineers, DEP or state level authorities are clear in their conclusion that sea level rise is ongoing and that climate change is effecting the economics of both industry and agriculture.

I don't know any educated person who does not think that carbon emissions contribute significantly to climate change, as does, to a lesser extent, the disruption of large areas of carbon trapping plants, trees and vegetation.

A large percentage know climate change is caused by us- by fossil fuels, in most part.

It's not all bad. The organization I work for is run by farmers and serves farmers in our area. Our organization supplies farmers with resources necessary to reduce their carbon footprint, teaches best sustainable energy practices, and works with farmers in our area to change their growing practices as the climate changes. All farmers are on board regardless of whether or not they think climate change is man made. The key is making sustainable energy affordable and thereby attractive. If that is done, everyone, including evangelicals, are in. They may not do it to save the planet but they'll do it to save their pocket book.
