I hope the good Bishop is aware that much climate change data is obtained from ice cores dating back more than 4000 years - i.e. before the Earth was even formed

How do you know they were formed 4000 years ago?

And biblical fundamentalists believe earth is 6000 years old. Not that there are many of those about these days - the mainstream church disagrees with them.

Okay, 6000 - I did say more than 4000 There are plenty of fundamentalists in America though (GB for instance).

Are British Bishops at odds with fundamentalist views too?

Not every bit of the bible is to be taken literally. Particularly parts of the old testament + revelation. There are songs, stories sometimes giving a sense of what happened.
I wonder how many bishops believe the bible creation is literal?

Shut it, twunt. Your contribution to this discussion is equivalent to a noxious but not very powerful fart.

When they discover dinosaur bones buried in young rock. That would confuse 'em, until they discover they are really cow bones planted by creationists.
