Climate Change and Global Warming
Scientists tell us "global warming is real; the
science is sound; and the effects are likely to be severe."
We add "this is a religious issue!" We are called to care
for all of God's children, especially the most vulnerable, and to
protect and restore God's creation. Climate change is a threat to
all people and all of creation.
