  "Christianity and Climate Change: Understanding the Range of Responses"

Abstract:
  Since Lynn White's famous article on the relationship between
Christianity and ecological destruction, many environmental activists have
accused this faith community of inaction (or worse - actions that are
ecologically destructive), when it comes to environmental protection and
health. However, recent concerns over climate change have led several
scientific and environmental organizations to begin to build bridges with
the range of Christian traditions - mainline protestant, evangelical, and
Catholic - recognizing that all must be part of the solution to global
climate change. This talk helps get beyond the stereotypes of the
relationship between Christians and the environment. A framework is
presented for comparing Christian traditions in terms of their attitudes
toward environmental issues and policies, along with a discussion of the
implications for climate change policy.
