I was pleased to read a recent report from the National Association of Evangelicals regarding climate change. The report talks about the Biblical basis for protecting our earth and our climate: “The Bible does not tell us anything directly about how to evaluate scientific reports … but it does give several helpful principles: Care for creation, love our neighbors and witness to the world.”
This is similar to what evangelical Christian and climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe has said: “For Christians, doing something about climate change is about living out our faith - caring for those who need help, our neighbors here at home or on the other side of the world, and taking responsibility for this planet that God created and entrusted to us.”
With record heat in the West, catastrophic flooding in Pakistan, and extreme drought in Europe, our climate is in desperate need of help from all quarters. This includes assistance from our important evangelical Christian communities. I welcome their support.
