I really don’t care who yammers on about “climate change”. If it’s a religious body, I’ll call them out from my small perch
(Ecumenical Times) The World Council of Churches says it will not invest in fossil fuels its main governing body has decided as part of its ethical policies, commitment to caring for creation and reversing climate change.
“The WCC wants to be careful in its investments, avoiding what we see as unethical in businesses today.
“And through our investment policy give signals as to practices that we believe are not serving a sustainable future,” WCC general secretary Rev. Olav Fykse Tveit said.
“The use of fossil fuels must be significantly reduced and by not investing in those companies we want to show a direction we need to follow as a human family to address climate changes properly.
Of course, they don’t mind using those same fossil fuels themselves
The decision will have an impact on discussion about energy to an upcoming Interfaith Summit on Climate Change from September 21 to 22 in New York, prior to the United Nations Climate Summit.
The WWC includes churches from all over the world. How will they get to New York City, for the United Nations IPCC sponsored whinefest?
At the end of the day, this is not about religion, but about people within religion, who should probably focus on things like, oh, morals.
