Last week I spent time with a delegation from the Australian Religious Response to Climate Change (ARRCC) in Canberra visiting our politicians. I have to say that the ignorance around climate change was hardly encouraging. The government it seems is undoing carbon policies rather than improving them.
A group if us from diverse faith traditions met with a number if politicians from all parties. My group met with Barnaby Joice, Lee Rhiannon, Natalie Griggs, Simon Birmingham, Andrew Wilke and Tony Burke. The request we made was for politicians to do more to alleviate the effects of climate change.
A few days ago, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its latest report. It scrutinised the efficiency of biofuels as a primary energy source. It's difficult to hear that the solutions we come up with in the effort to reduce carbon emissions are not solutions. Still, science must continue and examine other sustainable avenues despite constant knock backs.
We will be discussing the environment at our upcoming Future Dimensions conference here at the Chapel in May. Almost a dozen speakers have been invited to share their experience with 'Eco-Faith'; the integration of environmentalism and faith. We're very excited about the speakers we have on board, Peter Ellyard, Paul Collins and Anne Elvey, to name a few. Email me for conference and registration information.
Peace,
Rev John Queripel
