Episcopal bishop: Denying climate change is immoral

MAR 26, 2015

Guardian : In an interview with the UK’s Guardian newspaper, the head of the US Episcopal Church, Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, asserted that denying climate change was immoral. She based her pronouncement on two lines of reasoning. First, to deny climate change is to fail to use God’s gift of knowledge. Second, climate change is likely to most severely effect poor people who live in the developing world. In warning against climate change, Schori joins Pope Francis, who raised the issue last December at a meeting of the United Nations.
