US Religious Leaders Unite Against Global Warming

Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders are urging the US President and Congress to take action against global warming. More than 20 religious groups signed an open letter that stated, "Global warming is real, it is human-induced and we have the responsibility to act,"... "We are mobilizing a religious force that will persuade our legislators to take immediate action to curb greenhouse gases."

This letter will run in Roll Call and the Politico, two Capitol Hill newspapers on Tuesday (06/05/07).

As Christians, we are called to be good stewards of all of God’s Creation. Contaminating the environment, destroying our health and causing suffering to animals do not honor God, and do not show obedience to our Creator. Factory farming alone is responsible for 18% of the gases that contribute to global warming. The transition to a plant-based diet can contribute greatly to the restoration of the environment, and in participating in the reconciliation of God’s Creation.
