I would never be that judgmental, even if he is a politician. Friends of mine have known
him for many years and believe that he is. The evidence definitely suggest that he is a
Christian and has been a church goer for years. I suggest you do your own research
before making a false statement, no matter how tempting. :)

Oh dear resorting to condescension you must be getting desperate. :P
I was actually quoting a channel 9 journalist, but you obviously missed the news, sorry
forgot to add in the footnotes.

Agreed I didn't start this! ;)

I think citationx answered this well enough, he's done the research. Thanks! :)

Don't really know him and have never supported him.

What is the % of U.S. scientists who do believe in AGW? If you can provide this and
compare maybe then I could understand your argument. But a blanket generalized
statement does not make a case. What % of Scientists in the world does the U.S. have
compared to the rest of the world? If you can answer these questions I'd agree with you
no problem.

Actually this may shock you if you'd researched it.
The following link states that in a poll taken in 1991 95% of U.S. scientists believe in
evolution not creationism. Does this mean they've all changed dramatically within 18
years to become Christians?

Alot of the objections that I've been hearing and reading have come from the U.K and
Europe.

I tend to think that it this has much more to do with Money than religion.
