In this 1995 article in the American Scientific Affiliation’s journal Perspectives on Science & Christian Faith, Richard T. Wright discusses the rise of vehement antienvironmentalism among the Religious Right, it's Biblically questionable roots, and it's sad consequences for the credibility of many conservative evangelical groups. He also addresses the sector of environmentalism that is rooted in Gaia/Goddess worship and similar New Age ideas. Although these views represent only a tiny handful of environmentalists, their existence gives the Religious Right a badly needed rationalization for dismissing all environmental concerns and the science that supports them. Wright was formerly a professor at Gordon College in Massachusetts.

In this 2004 article Chip Bertlet discusses the rise of Dominionism in fundamentalist evangelical circles, the various flavors in which it manifests itself in response to current issues, and some of the ways the Bible has been made to fit its tenets. Dominionism informs Religious Right policy in many areas, including environmental issues. Chip Bertlet is a founding member of Political Research Associates, a Progressive think tank that specializes in research of Far-Right ideology and politics.

This article from Grist magazine shows how the Religious Right has infiltrated nearly every corner of American politics, especially throughout the post-2000 Bush years, and used their power to undermine any and all environmental protections. It also examines the Dispensationalist and Reconstructionist roots that provide the foundation of their theology, and the creative way that the Bible has been force-fit to it.

This article from Church & State, a publication of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, describes how James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family and the Family Research Council, united Religious Right ministries and Far-Right members of Congress to force the National Association of Evangelicals into backing away from plans to address global warming. Dobson is best known for his pro-life zealotry, his opposition to gay rights and non-abstinence based birth control, his religious intolerance, his advocacy of corporal punishment, and his opposition to stem cell research, the latest and most effective cervical cancer treatments, and other areas of medical science that are inconvenient for Far-Right ideology. He is also among those who stridently defend the alleged link between abortion and breast cancer in spite of the fact that there is little or no scientific support for one. Though revered by conservative evangelicals and conservative lobbies, Dobson is not known for his scientific literacy either on environmental or public health matters.
