We have to fix climate change with the people we have right now, and to a large extent with the perspectives we have right now as well.

My faith tells me that God does want people to understand climate change and do something about it.

It's easier to deny the reality of the problem altogether than acknowledge that it is real.

Where I live, if I put solar panels on my roof I'm not allowed to sell that energy back to the grid. I can't change that restriction myself. I need our local decision-makers to fix that.

People have taken advantage of the very well-trodden pathways that divide science and faith on other issues, such as creation, evolution, and the age of the universe, to pigeonhole climate change as yet another variant on the same theme.

I don't think there are any churches that have "Thou shalt not believe in climate change" written in their actual statement of faith.

We're not paying a real price for carbon. If we were, we wouldn't be using as much. We need to have the right perspective. It's not just about next quarter's financial return. It's about where we want to be in ten years.
