Christians Against Climate Change
by Nathan Empsall, Thu Oct 08, 2009 at 04:06:23 PM EDT
Faithful America, a progressive faith group, has launched a new website: DaySix.org. The message of Day Six is simple yet powerful: climate change is caused by those with abundant lifestyles but disproportionately impacts the poor, and so any climate change legislation we pass should help them deal with its effects. The website features the following video and petition:
Dear Senators: Until we can stop climate change from worsening, innovation will be the key to protecting lives.People in vulnerable communities across the world are finding innovative ways to adapt to unpredictable weather patterns and rapidly changing conditions in order to protect their families and livelihoods. But without adequate support, they won't be able to keep up, and 50 years of development gains will be permanently lost.
I urge you to support a climate bill that addresses the root causes of climate change and makes needed investments in vulnerable communities already experiencing its devastating effects.
If we don't take this opportunity to act, countless lives will be lost.
