Climate denial is immoral, says head of US Episcopal church
Climate change is a moral challenge threatening the rights of the worlds poorest people and those who deny it are not using Gods gift of knowledge, says presiding bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori
The highest ranking woman in the Anglican communion has said climate denial is a blind and immoral position which rejects Gods gift of knowledge.
Katharine Jefferts Schori, presiding bishop of the Episcopal church and one of the most powerful women in Christianity, said that climate change was a moral imperative akin to that of the civil rights movement. She said it was already a threat to the livelihoods and survival of people in the developing world.
It is in that sense much like the civil rights movement in this country where we are attending to the rights of all people and the rights of the earth to continue to be a flourishing place, Bishop Jefferts Schori said in an interview with the Guardian. It is certainly a moral issue in terms of the impacts on the poorest and most vulnerable around the world already.
