Things Jesus actually talked about…
Oh goody. Some churches are going green for Lent. About time churches started caring about being “Stewards of the Earth.” As some of the commenters over at the Newsweek story have suggested, this is a good start, but it’s only a start. If their commitment lasts longer than the Lenten season, I’ll be impressed.
Meanwhile, the Catholic Church has added pollution and economic and social injustices to its list of sins. Sadly, it ranks those issues (the things Jesus actually talked about) as being below slut-shaming and covering up for priests who are overly friendly with raping altar boys in importance.
And this sudden green streak among people of faith couldn’t come at a better time:
The task of cutting greenhouse gas emissions enough to avert a dangerous rise in global temperatures may be far more difficult than previous research suggested, say scientists who have just published studies indicating that it would require the world to cease carbon emissions altogether within a matter of decades.
Still think that global warming is “junk science?”
