The evangelical "creation care" movement professes to be pro-life and, for the most part, rightly so. But some creation care advocates give reason to wonder.
Case in point: the Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN) recently launched a "Pro-Life Clean Energy Campaign," promising to "organize half a million pro-life Christians to participate" in efforts to curb pollution by demanding a switch from fossil fuels to wind and solar. It calls this campaign "pro-life" and says it will "free our children from pollution all across America with 100% clean electricity from renewable resources by 2030."
Even if it were true that pollution from generating electricity from fossil fuels endangers children--and modern pollution control technologies and actual emission levels make this assertion questionable--the reasoning is ethically fallacious.
