The United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued their second report of 2007 explaining how global warming is changing life on Earth. The regions projected to be hardest hit are mainly poor and already facing dangers from existing climate and coastal hazards.
Rajendra K. Pachauri, the chairman of the panel said “People who are poor are least equipped to be able to adapt to the impacts of climate change and therefore, in some sense, this does become a global responsibility.”
Global warming is becoming an environmental justice issue and it's time for the faith community to stand up and be counted.
"He defended the cause of the poor and needy, and so all went well. Is that not what it means to know me?" declares the LORD.
Jeremiah 22:16
