Thank God for Al Gore. Here is a man who not only understands the issues of climate change from an environmental perspective, but also from a moral and ethical one as well. Make no mistake, climate changes will impact the poorest countries, regions and people way before those changes will affect rich people (except for ruining Bahamanian vacations perhaps).
My church has been 'Greening' for over a year now. On Saturday, March 29th, the church hosted a solar panel presentation informing people that even in the Pacific Northwest we could utilize solar power. The speaker was Chris Herman of Winter Sun Design. We have previously hosted Al Gore's climate crisis presentation (same presentation as An Inconvenient Truth) by a trained presenter. We are also involved with Earth Ministries, which is working to "inspire and mobilize the Christian Community to play a leadership role in building a just and sustainable future."
I see the issues of global warming and climate change as moral issues of social justice. I believe that we are living in the Garden of Eden. If I'd given my children something as beautiful as this planet and then they went about trashing it there would be no end to my disappointment.
Check out my man, Al on 60 Minutes.
