Description

In 2006, the Evangelical Climate Initiative purchased a full-page ad in the New York Times announcing, 'Our commitment to Jesus Christ compels us to solve the global warming crisis.' Many readers found the manifesto surprising, when, in fact, urgent, strategic responses to 'global weirding' should be central to Christian stewardship. This talk presents climate data in accessible terms, pitting ecotheological insights against forces of endless delay, and offers some less-commonly considered interventions. As a coda, it points to 'cli-fi,' or climate change fiction, that tells the story slant and can provoke grittier, justice-hungry forms of creation care.
