CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 4c Climate sceptics in religion and media
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
Climate sceptics in religion and media It is all very reminiscent of another battleground into which, given that these lectures are supposed to be about theology and public life, I will digress for a moment: evolution and creation. I find it incredible that, in this supposedly sc…

CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 4b The effect of climate change in Antarctica
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper

CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 5 Disturbing the present
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
Disturbing the present* A friend wrote in a letter to me at New Year 2009 that ‘Today is arguably the first day of the most important year in human history.’ And I agreed. The reason for this is the unique nature of climate change as a human problem that will be dealt with at Cop…

CHRISTIANITY AND THE RENEWAL OF NATURE - 5d Carbon stabilization and economic development
by SPCK - Sebastian C.H. Kim and Jonathan Draper
Carbon stabilization and economic development There is one elephant in the room that I want to touch on before concluding and that is economic growth. Our leaders, in public at least, accept two imperatives – carbon stabilization and continuing economic development…
