Debate on Climate Change Continues Amongst Religious Leaders and Politicians in UK

Since the Government announced that the UK will not meet its target to reduce CO2 emissions and resource clean energy sources, UK church leaders have been urging people to ‘go green’ in order to protect God’s creation.

In recent months, the issue has shot to the top of the political agenda, as many are seeking the urgent need for action to tackle the effects of climate change.

In a recent radio interview, Chancellor Gordon Brown expressed that there is an ethical and moral dimension to the battle against global warming, following on from similar comments from the Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams who talked about the ‘huge moral problem’ of climate change as well as the urgent need for the government and individuals to take moral responsibility.
