Welcome
Thank you for visiting JesusConserves.org, examining the global warming crisis from a Christian perspective.
The story of JesusConserves.org began a few years ago while I was studying climate change policy in law school. I was struck by the disconnect between many Christians and environmentalists. Surprisingly, many Christians and Christian organizations have positioned themselves on the wrong side of global warming. This is not the fault of these Christians.
For too long, global warming has been presented to the American people as a distant environmental problem rather than a looming humanitarian disaster. In the American zeitgeist, the image most associated with global warming is of a polar bear on an iceberg. Instead, we should think of a Bangladeshi mother holding her starving child.
Global warming solutions have also been misrepresented. Christian Americans have been given the false choice between fighting global warming and continued American economic growth. Nothing could be further from the truth. Solutions to the global warming crisis offer unparalleled economic opportunities at a time America needs them most. If the United States is to remain a moral, economic, and military world leader, we must address global warming.
I firmly believe that once American Christians understand the moral and humanitarian implications of ignoring global warming, they will join the fight. When American Christians understand the long-term economic and national security benefits of global warming solutions, our Christian nation will act.
JesusConserves.org is in its beginning phase of operation. This website became active in January 2010. Over the course of 2010, we hope to expand, convince more Christians to take action against global warming, and share Christ’s love by helping those who will be affected by global warming.
Please help JesusConserves.org spread this message of peace. Even if you aren’t a Christian or don’t know much about global warming, you can support JesusConserves.org and its mission. Most of us know many Christians, many environmentalists, and, dare I say, even a few Christian environmentalists. Please share this site with them. More importantly, please share this site with people who do not believe global warming is real or think global warming won’t affect them—these are exactly the people JesusConserves.org needs to reach.
Here are a few things you can do to get the message out:
- Email a link to JesusConserves.org to anyone who would be interested.
- Email a link to JesusConserves.org to anyone you think would disagree.
- Join the JesusConserves.org Facebook page.
- Follow Jesus Conserves on Twitter.
- Bookmark JesusConserves.org and visit often.
Thank you for taking a moment from your day. With your help, we can make a difference.
God Bless,
