Placing the climate crisis in a moral context.

This week the National Religious Coalition for Creation, an interfaith group of Catholics, Protestants, Evangelicals, Orthodox Christians, and Jews gathered for their 20th annual prayer breakfast in Washington, DC. They took the opportunity to release their Religious Declaration of Unprecedented Climate Emergency.

"The Declaration calls for bold, concerted action: 'Decades of delay on climate action have made small corrective measures and incremental approaches useless. Those who are invested in maintaining the status quo, or who put forth proposals that are clearly incompatible with what climate science demands, are condemning innocent young people – including their own children and generations to come – to a future of unimaginable suffering: the mass death of human populations and the extinction of species.'

"The Declaration places the climate crisis within a moral context: 'Further delay in addressing climate change is a radical evil that as people of faith we vigorously oppose.'”
