It’s not.I fail to see how Climate Change is a matter of faith and morals.
Read the question again. I answered in the affirmative. It can’t be that difficult to follow.Bradski,
please 'splain yerself.

How could it not be? There are people who are suffering because of the changes in the climate and we have a moral responsibility to them and those who suffer in the future. We must take care of our planet and do things to help those suffering the effects of climate change if we care about people at all…Which I hope we do as Christians…It’s not.
I concur that those arguing that it is an urgent matter oughta do some 'splainin.

Most definitely…! The time was yesterday, barring that we must start today!Laudato Si identifies climate change as an environmental problem that demands immediate action. Pope Francis believes that human CO2 emissions are causing dangerous global warming or climate change. Is he justified in this belief?
absolutely agreeConcur
Talk about needing some splainin…how can anyone conclude stewardship of God’s creation is nothing but a mater of faith and morals?It’s not.

Yes.… Pope Francis believes that human CO2 emissions are causing dangerous global warming or climate change. Is he justified in this belief?
Uh-oh, here we go again… As a scientist who understands the basic physics behind it, I would have to say it’s a sure thing. CO2 is a greenhouse gas. That is to say it absorbs and emits infrared light in a way that tends to warm the planet’s surface. That’s just physics. Sensible people can argue over how much heat the CO2 keeps in, or other factors like the greenhouse effect of water vapor, cooling and warming due to cloud coverage, CO2 emissions of volcanoes, solar output variation, effects of other industrial emissions like soot, methane, etc., but I don’t think anyone has come up with a scientific argument that our massive CO2 emissions are going to make the planet any cooler. And so what if there are other factors that we do not fully understand or have control over? That is a poor argument for inaction with respect to the factors that we do understand and have control over.Bradski,

That is a pretty far stretch compared to what we traditional think of as faith and morals.How could it not be? There are people who are suffering because of the changes in the climate and we have a moral responsibility to them and those who suffer in the future. We must take care of our planet and do things to help those suffering the effects of climate change if we care about people at all…Which I hope we do as Christians…

So we are supposed to spend Billions of dollars to try to stop something that we do not fully understand and may not have any ability to control? Wouldn’t that money be better spent on something we can have a reasonable amount of confidence will work?And so what if there are other factors that we do not fully understand or have control over?

I’m lining up on this side… waiting to hear conversation…It’s not.

I’m agreeing with you at this time. Until I hear more reasoning… you know, with facts…So we are supposed to spend Billions of dollars to try to stop something that we do not fully understand and may not have any ability to control? Wouldn’t that money be better spent on something we can have a reasonable amount of confidence will work?
We have no choice. Climate change is impacting us all and it if first affecting the most vulnerable in our world, the poor. So the sooner we do something about it the better.So we are supposed to spend Billions of dollars to try to stop something that we do not fully understand and may not have any ability to control?
