LSE: “Why religion is fundamental to addressing climate change”

“… The climate crisis demands new ways of thinking … and religion is fundamental to achieving that. …”

Why religion is fundamental to addressing climate change

…

Building a global response to the climate crisis requires us to learn about the many ways people make sense of climate change and learn to live with its consequences. And for most of the world’s population, a purely scientific framing is unhelpful.

…

With my team from the LSE Religion and Global Society research unit, I ran a climate change and religion workshop in Cairo with Muslim and Christian female and male faith leaders. Many of the 30 participants explained they felt frustrated that the climate science lens dominates.

One member of a faith-based organisation told me during an interview after the workshop that: “We are often approached by western organisations and research institutions to collaborate. However, when we ask about the nature of these collaborations, it is often reduced to our logo and a couple of statements that tell people that they should care about climate change.”

See Megan Basham's book, Shepherds for Sale, where she explains how leftist climate groups have infiltrated American churches.

Oh ye of little faith!

Why can't these people trust The One who created it all to set the thermostat?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

God created the Earth and all the plants and animals that live upon it.  Since God gave man dominion over the animals and plants, we have a responsibility to be good stewards of God's gift to us, Earth.

Having said that ... Global Climate Change is the demonstrable result of converging and conflicting  forces beyond our knowing, our understanding, and our comprehension.  It is not within the power of MAN to control the Earth's climate.  We can do more to keep air, water, and soil clean and productive, but we are just passengers on the big blue marble upon which we live.

Decarbonization is an international, ideological, communist conspiracy to weaken the West to the benefit of America's enemies.

Communism is not a disciple of God.
