Climate change is a fact of life and unstoppable. But I think you mean climate change caused exclusively by human use of fossil fuels. Yes, that is a myth.

The Church has always tried to find a way to bridge the "creator" of all, the all powerful and knowing God as engineer and gather, with science. It doesn't work. One system requires evidence to draw conclusions, its as simple as that.

That's an ignorant viewpoint that simply supports your irrational biases.

One system requires evidence to draw conclusions

Yet you're unable to cite any evidence to support your bigotries. A characteristic one observes among liberals.

Some religions do teach tolerance, usually liberal; they reject the literal biblical foundation but live by the Golden Rule and see Jesus story as as one about the Prince of Peace; not American Exceptionalism or assault weapons

Wow, can you get any more intolerant and bigoted?

they can be atheist and still have secular human values that are much higher on morality than your typical Evangelicals

I hate to tell you this but Arthur Brooks, among others, has done extensive social research on this. He finds liberal secularists are inferior in morality to conservatives, especially religious conservatives. That is, they're less generous, more likely to cheat on their taxes, donate blood less, even hug their children less:

Conservatives even donate more blood than liberals. Studies show conservatives give much more to charity than liberals.

Liberals more likely to cheat on taxes and commit felonies:

.... Liberals, Schweizer writes, are, in the aggregate:

... less honest. Liberals are more likely to believe that it's okay to be dishonest or deceptive, cheat on their taxes (and their spouse),
keep money that doesn't belong to them, and sell a used car with a faulty transmission to a family member.

... more selfish. Liberals are much more likely to think about themselves first and less willing to make sacrifices for others. They are less interested in caring for a physically ill or elderly family member, and more concerned with ensuring that their own needs are met.

... more focused on money. Liberals are much more likely to report that money is important to them, that they don't earn enough money, and that money is what matters in a job. They are also more likely to be envious of others.
