Rev. Susannah Tuttle seems super concerned. She’s the Director of NC’s Interfaith Power and Light. You have to visit the website, because this is exactly what you’d expect from the Cult of Climastrology. Exactly what you’d expect from turning what was supposedly science into a religion
For NC, effects of climate change are personal. Vote accordingly
For North Carolinians, the effects of climate change are too personal to ignore. In Orange County, where I live, farmers are losing crops to erratic weather caused by the climate crisis. In the state’s coastal communities, families are losing everything to flooding.
We know the climate crisis is affecting our state. We’re living with the consequences. In 2018, North Carolina recorded close to 4,600 emergency department visits for heat-related illnesses, and 2019 was North Carolina’s hottest year on record. Today, more than 300,000 North Carolinians are especially vulnerable to extreme heat.
It’s North Carolina. 4,600 isn’t abnormal, and, consider that the normal average is 4-6 100 degree days a year. That’s not with heat index. We haven’t had that in about 5 years. Many years we’ve only had no more than 1. And, weather is pretty much the biggest story. Like always. No need to assign witchcraft.
This is why North Carolinians know the future of our planet is on the ballot.
For many living in the state, we’re voting for climate not just because of concerns about heat and flooding, but because we deeply recognize that climate action is a matter of social justice. While the president keeps rolling back important standards to improve our air and water quality, studies show Black North Carolinians are almost twice as likely to live near an EPA-registered polluter than white residents. Communities of color in North Carolina keep bearing the heaviest burden of climate and continue to fight against water and air pollution caused by industrial hog farms, wood-burning facilities, and pipelines.
As the director of the North Carolina Interfaith Power & Light, I know there is a responsibility for faith and religious leaders to work toward a future where climate action ends centuries of climate racism. People of faith recognize the need to heal our planet and build a foundation for projects that bolster resilience to natural disasters in our communities, especially for those most vulnerable to the climate crisis’ effects. In this election, the responsibility to tackle climate change in our communities and at the national level is borne out through the right to vote — and the need to vote for climate. (snip)
But to make this vision for our future come true, we must use our power to make our voices heard. We need leaders who listen to scientists and are serious about healing our planet while creating opportunities for North Carolinians.
The perfect merging of religion with politics, attempting to force their beliefs on Everyone Else like Spanish missionary’s in the 1500’s and so. Like hardcore Muslim leaders now, who force Christians and others to convert or die in majority Muslim countries.
Oh, hey, remember when Modern Socialists yammered about a wall of separation between church and state?
