The Climate and the Cross

23 MIN · EN · STATUS: [ STREAMING ]

Meteorologist Paul Douglas built his career forecasting weather for Midwestern television audiences, and as an evangelical Christian he noticed a growing split in his own community over climate change. The film follows Douglas and other believers who argue that caring for the planet is a biblical mandate, not a partisan position, while capturing the pushback they get from fellow Christians who see climate science as tied to a secular, government-expanding agenda. Interviews move between church pews, farm fields, and television studios, tracing how a scientific question became a test of religious and political identity for millions of Americans. Douglas describes losing friends and viewers over his public stance, and other evangelical scientists and pastors weigh in on why the issue divides congregations that agree on almost everything else. The film treats the disagreement as a real fracture inside American Christianity rather than a simple culture-war talking point, letting both sides explain their reasoning on camera.
