Fox Host Suggests Climate Action Is Stupid Because Heaven Will Be Much Nicer

Over the weekend, Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy said that liberals care about protecting the environment because we don't believe in the afterlife, but Republicans understand that protecting the planet is stupid because Heaven will be much nicer. If we're going to get Biblical about the environment, Campos-Duffy needs to understand that there are plenty of Bible passages about protecting God's creation, also known as the planet earth. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this idiotic statement.

According to Fox News host Rachel Campos Duffy, there is really no reason whatsoever to protect planet earth here because if you're a good Christian and you believe in the afterlife, then heaven is gonna be so much better, you know, than this planet that we're currently trashing at an alarming rate. Now, Campo Duffy made these comments on Sunday, uh, while talking with Republican presidential candidate, I'm definitely gonna mispronounce his name here, uh, Vivek, uh, Ramaswami. And, and again, my apologies if I mispronounce that name. But anyway, he was talking about the fact that he is going to let his faith guide him if he becomes president of the United States, which has a pretty much 0% chance of happening. Uh, but it's reminiscent of course of what George W. Bush said, I'm gonna let my faith guide my presidency. And then you started bombing every country that your family doesn't like. But that is when Campos Duffy decided to make this about climate change for some reason. And here's what she said.

For them talking about the godless leftists for them, where we live right now, this place Earth is it. So everything's on the line here for them. They think, as you said, they can perfect this earth. Those of us who have faith don't believe that. And we believe how we act here determines where we go after. And so we gotta behave. So we should just continue spewing all of these pollutants into our atmosphere, dumping toxins into our water and all over the soil, cutting down forests, you know, redirecting wetlands that then lead of course to catastrophic flooding. We should just let all of that happen because this is just the planet God gave us. He thinks it's cool if we trash it, and then he is gonna reward us with eternal paradise in heaven after we all die. Right? What you gotta do is for you, um, if you are right, you're gonna reach that heaven a little bit earlier than you assumed because of all the destruction we're doing to the planet.

But I guess that's a theological conversation for another day. Right now we're getting a little bit of insight into why Republicans don't want to do a thing about planet Earth though. Huh? Why bother living on a habitable planet when heaven is going to be so much better when the afterlife offers of so much promise? Right? Well, which afterlife are you talking about? Are you talking about the Christian version of heaven? Are you talking about the, the afterlives of other religions? Cuz some religions don't even have an afterlife. They actually have, you know, reincarnation and things like that. So they actually have to come back to this earth. So I'm sure those religious people probably have a differing view than you do about protecting earth if they believe they're gonna have to be here throughout several different lifetimes. But if you want

To biblical about climate change, let's talk biblical about climate change. Many, many years ago I had to do a story on the biblical, you know, climate change connection there. And there are plenty of Bible passages about protecting the earth. After all, the Bible tells us the earth, this planet that we live on, that Rachel Campos Duffy thinks we should trash. This is God's creation, which means it is in fact sacred.
