I think this is a terrific question. My take on it is this: most TBMs respect Mother Earth, and many maintain a garden, enjoy nature, etc. (An additional reason for this is that many large TBM families tend to go camping for their vacations, as it is easier on the wallet.) However, my sense is also that many TBMs are deeply suspicious of Global Warming, and other environmentalist-related topics. This could be for strictly religious reasons---i.e., the world is going to end, so to hell with it---or it could be due to suspicions about the political Left (when Coggins7 shows up, let's ask him what he thinks of global warming). Overall, I would say that Mormons generally do a pretty good job of looking after whatever environment they are in, even if they continue to refuse to accept the overwhelming endorsement of global warming by the scientific community.
Oh, well, since you asked, I'll be happy to answer the question before its even been asked. To wit: anthropogenic global warming, espeicially the kind said to be dangerous or catastrophic, is without any doubt the greatest pseudo scientific hoax ever foisted on the western public in the history of modern mankind. As part of the anti-judeo/Christian, anti-enlightenment, anti-capitalist, anti-western, neo-primitivist, post sixties neo-pantheist religion of environmentalism (probably the primary alternative religion of the modern adversary culture) AGW has no contemporary equals as an opponent of both Judeo/Chrsitian values and liberal democracy.
Anthropogenic global warming, or the idea that modern industrial society has altered the natural climate crontrol systems of the planet and is causing an unnatrual warming of the earth has not a shred of empirical scientific evidence to justify the claims of its proponents and never has. The entire theory is based upon computer simulations, not empirical climate science in the relevant disciplines, and is, for all intents and purposes, scientifically dead (if empirical science is our point of departure). Not a single particle of empirical data has supported any of the major claims of the GCMs over the last twenty years or more, and most have been discredited since the mid-ninties when much more complete data sets (earth bound temperature records, radiosonde data, and sattalite measurements combined) became available. Even more telling is that paleoclimatology makes an utter hash of virtually every major claim of AGW theory. Historically speaking, whether your looking at centennial, millenial, or longer periouds of geological time, the present waming is completely innocuous and well within natural boundries (hint: for most of the 500 million years that life has existed on this planet, its been much hotter and atmospheric CO2 has been much higher than at present)
Environmentalism (the locus of AGW theory) is a fundamentalist secular religion; essentially a form of militant neo-pantheism, and is the primary counter religious movement spawned by the cultural Left since the sixties. Global Warming is the wrath and revenge of the natural world (Gaia, in some cases) upon fallen, sinful human beings and economic liberty ("capitalism"), property rights, prosperity and modern industry the sins for which modern man must atone or be punished by rising sea levels and global "superstorms". Global Warming is the eschaton of the cultural left; thier "end times" for the liberal democracy and economic property rights they so despise. The development of Industry, modern technological progress, the use of fossil fuels, private property rights, the altering and conquering of the natural world in the name of human health, saftey, and comfort, all are among the original sins besotting human kind; it is his fall from oritginal grace (the natural world without man or with man not far removed from nature)
AGW is an ideology, it is not a scientific theory (as it has no empirical evidence to support its claims) and many competant (and not a few eminant) earth scientists, including many climatologists, do not and have never supported it as a serious view of the natural world and man's possible relation to it.
Perhaps the only pseudo scientific hoax, of the many that the environmental movement and cultural Left have spread through our society over the last 40 years or so (and their are many), that compares to the potential damage that looms over the earth and its people if Global Warming true believers have their way politically, is the ideological crusade against DDT in the sixties that resulted in the ban of this chemical in 1973. The result of that, after almost complete eradication of Malaria in the Third World, was a massive comback of that disease such that since that time, upwards of thirty million people, many of them children, have died completely preventable deaths in Third World counties, primarily in Africa. And these people continue to die in droves as we speak, as neither the United States or the U.N. will lift the ban and the U.N., for its part, threatens economic sanctions on countries who desire to use DDT. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, for the sake of primarily white, affluent, western Boomer moral sanctity and pure-as-driven-snow social consciousness, poor Third World people continue to die by the hundreds of thousands each year so holy and sacntified affluent liberals in Europe and North America can preen themselves as they sip Starbusck Cappuchino in thier Birckenstocks on how "socially conscious" they are and how they're helping to "save the planet".
But of course, this mass depopulation of poor, brown people in the Southern Hemisphere is itself, a part of the environmentalist project; to decrease the population of the earth which they have long claimed is "overpopulated".
Anthropogenic Global Warming is the last, great white hope of the neo-communist and neo-primitivist Left to impose what it desires; a collectivist, socialist police state (or a primitive communist agrarian utopia) upon the liberal decomcatic nations of the west as well as upon the undeveloped nations of the South, with the most liberal of these, America, as its prime target because America, with its higher levels of personal economic freedom, prosperity, and techonogical innovation, is environmentalism's Great Satan. In process of this they will eliminate everything they despise: private property rights, economic liberty, traditional religion and values of the Judeo/Christian variety, modern techonogical growth and progress, and as many people as the moral scruples of the times will allow.
Oh, by the way, the IPCCs new forcasts for warming over the next century (assuming that any will even occur (Global Warming ceased in 1998, and has been essentially flat since then. That's right folks, there's been no warming for almost a decade--as the media hysteria continues to mount and Al Gore sweats in the freezing cold everywhere he shows up to plug his junk science propaganda film) have now been revised downward to much more conservative levels, as has their predictions of sea level rise. Not that the IPCC is the best place to get your climate science. Far from it. But there are actually more skeptics in that body now than in the past and as the empirical evidence mounts that a number of massive control mechanisms over which man has no control, including the Sun, are responsible for the vast majority-if not all-of the tiny warming we've seen over the last century, they're going to have to bring thier political objectives more in line with the science as time goes on.
My prediction? AGW will be as dead as Brontosaurus in roughly five years, perhaps less. Global cooling, promoted by many of the same people, and for the same ideological reasons, was long dead by 1983 when the present hysteria began.
