Abstract
At its core, climate change is profoundly unjust. It exacerbates hunger, poverty, and even political instability, disproportionally impacting the most vulnerable people of the world, the very ones that Christians are called to love and care for. As the scientific evidence builds, however, so does the opposition to solutions: theyβre impractical, or they’ll harm people, or they’re even too late, some argue. Why is climate change such a difficult problem to solve, and what can Christians do about it? Join Katharine Hayhoe as she untangles the complex science behind global warming and highlights the key role that faith and values play in shaping our attitudes and actions on this crucial topic.
