Karenna Gore, director of the Center for Earth Ethics at Union Theological Seminary, urged the Catholic Church and other “faith communities” to become climate change activists and preach about taking action on the issue.

“I actually think that [preaching is] one of the main things that could actually break through on this issue. One of the ways that we could break through on this issue is if people really start to think deeply on another level about it; on a moral and spiritual level and are moved from a different kind of place to take action, to raise it with their elected representatives, to make it inform their individual choices but also our political agenda, to be constantly saying, why are we building up more fossil fuels? Why don't we switch to a new renewable energy?” Gore told PJM following a discussion at the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace and World Affairs at Georgetown University on Monday evening.

How else will politicians and their cronies be able to steal trillions of dollars?

She should be asked when rising sea levels will force her father to abandon his beachfront mansion.

Most of today’s conservative theologians are at a sticking point — what to do with the creation account. They’ve marched one way, secular science has marched in a different direction. If parties could even agree to factor out Darwinian evolution as the most significant factor in the creation process — and there are copious logical reasons to do that — one would still have a giant chasm.

While I have some private theories about it, mostly along the lines of day-age creation account theology with some general relativity included, I don’t make a big noise about it for fear of creating more offense than it is worth.

I can comment this: people who are great sticklers for the bible still won’t get very far until they have experienced the presence and work of the living God. And I’ve seen that play out in realms other than science. Science is just one special case.

Everyone who believes CO2 is a dangerous pollutant should cease emitting it personally immediately.

Problem solved.

They are. Albert Arnold Algore Jr is their #1 high priest. Most of the Media and the Democrat politicians are lesser priests. Evolutionists are their millions of followers.

Killing unborn babies and eating tofu is among their many sacraments.

I don’t believe it’s even chiefly about the dollars. It’s about the glory.

If the Earth had any ethics it would not allow volcanos, earthquakes, floods, etc, etc etc :-)

Not sure what religion she is speaking to. Christianity, and virtually all other religions, considering telling a lie a sin.

It is impossible to take anything said by anyone named Gore seriously.

She isn’t about to rock the boat, when she stands to inherit part of daddy’s zillions in the not-too-distant future.
