Re: [asa] Other Christian Perspectives on Global Warming

Dave,
    Try http://www.nrpe.org/statements/index.html where you will find a broad spectrum of statements, though probably not the anti- ones. It would indeed be interesting to see the topography.

  Subject: [asa] Other Christian Perspectives on Global Warming

  In the recent discussion on warming, the competing Evangelical statements on global warming were mentioned. Can anyone point me to other official / substantial statement on warming from other Christian perspectives? It would be an interesting article to do a topography of different responses. Maybe someone has done this already.

  Here are two notable ones I found:

  U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops -- http://www.usccb.org/sdwp/international/globalclimate.htm
  Answers in Genesis -- http://www.answersingenesis.org/docs2005/0908ct.asp
   
  The U.S. Catholic Bishops' statement I think has some good aspects, particularly a focus on virtue ethics and a warning about links between warming policies and population control policies, though I think it is too solicitous of Kyoto and lacks emphasis on other key Catholic social principles such as subsidiarity. Does anyone know whether the Vatican has issued any statements?

  The AIG statement is interesting because it raises the "uniformitarian" flag.
