Climate Change and the Church’s Response

Following in the same direction of my previous post. Here is the position of the United Methodist Church on the issue of global warming. During the 2016 General Conference, the United Methodist Church passed a resolution for all clergy and laity to take seriously the stewardship and care of creation and to take climate change seriously.  The resolution can be found here:

5 myths about climate change by Katharine Hayhoe

Here is a powerful link shared by the people of WesleyNexus, a United Methodist group working to advance the dialogue and engagement between religion and science. In this link we have Katharine Hayhoe, director of the Climate Science Center at Texas Tech University, published an article nationally distributed that targets the top five myths about climate change propagated by those who deny anthropogenic climate change: 

1. Climate scientists are in it for the money.

2. The climate has changed before. It's just a natural cycle.

3. Climate scientists are split on whether it's real.

4. Climate change won't affect me.

5. It's cold outside — global warming can't be real.

Here response to these beliefs can be found here.
