Desmond Tutu backs "Operation Noah" climate hoax declaration: We should "LISTEN!" to "prophets" [like Gore, Hansen, Gleick, and Mann?] who warn us of the alleged dangers of carbon dioxide

Scottish Cardinal Keith O'Brien, the Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, and Archbishop Emeritus of Cape Town, Desmond Tutu, have given their backing to a call for believers to see the environment as a central faith issue. The Ash Wednesday declaration issued this week by the Christian lobby movement on climate change, Operation Noah, is a seven-point call to action to urge people to understand environmental issues in the light of biblical theology.

Read the declaration below:

Climate change and the purposes of God: a call to the Church

The likelihood of runaway global warming, which will diminish food security, accelerate the extinction of huge numbers of species and make human life itself impossible in some parts of the world, raises questions that go to the heart of our Christian faith....

LISTEN!

‘I appointed watchmen over you and said; "Listen to the sound of the trumpet!"' (Jeremiah 6:17)

In recent decades, and with increasing urgency, climate scientists have warned of the dangers of catastrophic climate change resulting from human activity. Instability in weather systems is already bringing destruction and suffering to millions of people. In the light of the best knowledge we have, climate change could result in the loss of livelihoods and sometimes of life for huge numbers of people and the extinction of countless species. This matters because the well-being of all creation matters to God (Psalm 145:9).

Prophets are those who speak truth, usually uncomfortable truth, to their generation. In ancient Israel, prophets were always shadowed by false prophets, representing the ruling powers. We must listen to the scientists warning us of approaching dangers, exercise discernment, and be wary of ‘false prophets' representing the vested interests of the powerful.
