"Global climate change is about our human stewardship of God's creation and our responsibility to those who come after us."
- U.S. Catholic Bishops |
New Energy Economy is working in partnership with the faith community
to provide the moral compass and the stewardship that will
lead to a better world for our children and their children.
Indeed the faith community is now taking a prominent, necessary,
and important role in guiding our country toward a responsible
energy path that addresses global warming. Consider these recent
statements by leaders from the faith community:
United
States Conference of Catholic Bishops: We believe our response to global climate change should be
a sign of our respect for God's creation. At its core, global climate change is not about economic
theory or political platforms, nor about partisan advantage
or interest group pressures. It is about the future of God's
creation and the one human family.
Rabbi Michael Lerner: We must begin to take prophetic action to protect the interdependent web. The web is threatened by climatic changes taking place all around us. We owe it to our children and our children's children.
Richard
Cizik of the National Association of Evangelicals: If you look at Genesis 2:15, He tells us to be stewards
of the earth and creation. We simply cannot ignore the fact that climate change
is real and that we must take urgent action to reduce green
house gasses. This is all part of our stewardship responsibilities.
In turn, 86 evangelical Christian leaders have decided to back the "Evangelical Climate Initiative" to fight global warming, saying "millions of people could die in this century because of climate change, most of them our poorest global neighbors.
