One-minute Survey on Global Warming

Last February 86 evangelical leaders issued the “Evangelical Climate Initiative,” claiming that global warming is real and the Christians must get involved in solving the problem. Others in the evangelical community oppose the initiative, stating that the science is inconclusive, and that it is, therefore, impossible to take an informed position. What are your thoughts? Should the Church become more active? Do we need more information? Or do we have more important things to worry about? Click here, and share your thoughts.

Maybe it's because I am European that I feel the need to respond to this posting. The church probably does have more important things to do than spend a lot of time finding out if global warming is happening or not.

But there are other well-proven facts about, for example, air pollution, which is real, no matter if it warms the athmosphere or not. Anyone, but especially children, living in cities with high pollution are more likely to suffer from respiratory diseases like Asthma.

Could that possibly be an easier to understand reason for practising good stewardship and drive a fuel efficient car, or drive the one we own less? I think on that level it is important for us to be good stewards. And there are many more examples how we can take good care of the world around us, without having to wait for the final data on global warming.
