 Posted: Thu Nov 05, 2009 2:14 pm Post subject: UN and religion for climate change agenda |
 |
|
| Quote: | U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged religious leaders on Tuesday to push their governments to take bolder action on climate change at a key U.N. summit next month.
Religious leaders have “the longest, widest and deepest reach” in society, Ban told representatives of major faith groups gathered for the faith-based climate change summit in England, according to U.K.-based Guardian newspaper.
Faith groups run more than half of the world’s schools, operate more weekly publications than “all the secular press” in the European Union, control financial investments worth trillions, and own nearly eight percent of habitable land on the planet. |
“Your potential impact is enormous,” Ban said.

I made a similar point elsewhere, but I'll make it again.
These people believe in evolution for the most part, riiiiiight? What the heck is their problem then? If there's a problem, it would probably only take a couple million years to right itself. If earth survived a major cataclysmic event and is thriving now, why get their panties all in a wad. Just wait and see what sorts of life forms pop up out of this, and leave the gas prices alone!
Disclaimer: arguing from an atheist/evolutionist perspective. I am, in fact, neither of those. |

Well, I'm neither of those myself, but I think the idea makes a lot of sense. |
