The environment was made for man, not man for the environment.
Often we take good things and make them into absolutes. When we take a legitimate issue and make into an ultimate one, we are practicing idolatry. In this country and around the world we are dangerously close to bowing down to the idol of environmentalism.
The disparaging of a sacred cow can only explain the reaction to President Trump pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord. The dishonoring of Jesus and Muhammad brought the same response. A disagreement over a policy does invoke this kind of invective. Everyone has a God. It is what we value the most or the thing to which we give our greatest allegiance. Unfortunately, mankind started to worship the creation rather than the God who created it. In effect, we exchanged good for the best. The argument today about global warming should not be about good and evil but about reasonable and unreasonable. God has given man dominion over the earth to enjoy and to care for lovingly, but never to worship. When we move away from sound reason and follow a false God, it always leads us away from the truth.
