John Shimkus' official position on Global Warming is; don't worry, God's got your back. The irony is that according the believers, God works in mysterious ways and often sends signs which lead to a change in ones life. Well perhaps God has sent us a sign by increasing the temperature and melting away ice caps. Maybe all of the recent reports and the growing concern over Global Warming were a sign from God that things needed to change. Perhaps God is really concerned about air quality and since smog and cancer didn't change Republicans minds God decided to turn up the heat (literally) and flood out the human race.
As far as I can tell Mr. Shimkus has half of it right, God will take care of Global Warming. He has given us more than enough signs that excess carbon dioxide in the air is bad and he expects us to do something about it. Its just too bad that Mr. Shimkus is using God as an excuse not to act, rather than truly understanding that God has already acted and the failure now rests on the heads of his believers that place greater importance on Jesus like depictions on toast than actual signs of the apocalypse. As the old saying goes - the greatest trick the Devil every pulled was convincing Christians that Global Warming doesn't exist!
