Climate Bill Should Reflect Our Values

Climate change poses grave dangers to the world’s poor and America’s national security. Our failure to answer the calling to be good stewards of God’s creation has consequences.  As food, water, and land become scarce due to climate change, millions of people here at home and globally are suffering and American security is endangered by the the threat of political destabilization in regions around the world.  A new Congressional coalition spearheaded by Rep. Heath Shuler and Rep. Tom Perriello, has  joined an unprecedented assembly of  religious and military leaders working to ensure that the new climate bill creates jobs, reduces our dependence on foreign oil, and pays special attention to the needs of those most affected by climate change and our attempts to combat it.
