Dear Editor,
Christians differ in their response to the ‘climate emergency’. Some, like David Golding that the (February en), accept ‘evidence is irrefutable’ that emissions from fossil fuels are endangering billions of people as the Earth heats up. Over recent years, reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have become more specific in attributing global warming to the release of greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere.
However, not everyone is impressed by this claim. David Golding is aware that ‘some believers seek to distance themselves’ from the alarmism expressed by climate emergency advocates who declare that the evidence is unequivocal and undeniable. Maybe some of these believers cite Genesis 8:22, but the reason for responding to his article is that it suggests that ‘climate complacency’ explains the thinking of those who deny that we face a climate emergency.
