“First of all, there is an attempt being made by them to deflect attention away from finding policy solutions to global warming towards promoting individual behaviour changes that affect people’s diets, travel choices and other personal behaviour,” for those climate change denialists who are also american right wing protestant christians, this is an incredibly easy rhetorical shift to make. An obsessive focus on personal piety has long been an effective way to neuter policy action at a societal level. If you think “sin” is about “me personally swearing or having lustful thoughts”, it’s very very easy to forget that “sin” is about, oh, enthusiastically depriving an entire class of people fundamental human rights for several hundred years. Guilt-tripping people into eating less meat while enthusiastically funding coal mines is the same tune, so i wouldn’t be toooo surprised to see that idea crop up a bunch. Oh joy.
