The standard fundamentalist attack on the environmental movement is that it exalts the creation over the creator.  But now one of the leading fundie critics of environmentalism is taking a new, and if possible even loonier argument.  

Many of us remember the Dr. Seuss book and movie The Lorax.  It's being adapted into a computer-animated feature film that's due to come out next month.  The EPA is helping promote the film--something that doesn't sit too well with Cal Beisner, head of the Cornwall Alliance, a fundie-oriented climate change denial outfit.  He claims that the EPA's sponsorship of this movie amounts to--wait for it--government endorsement of religion.

"What you've got there is the mixing of taxpayer dollars into the promotion of a clear ideology that has a particular religious flavor to it," the Cornwall Alliance spokesman concludes. "And frankly, I think that this is a violation of the separation of church and state."
