This year, an interfaith network of religious leaders called IMAC (Interfaith Moral Action on Climate) has decided to revive the authentic prophetic message of King. On January 15, his 84th birthday, this group of Evangelicals, Jews, Moslems, Hindus, Catholics, Buddhists and others (some coming from communities struck by Sandy), will gather outside of the White House for a "Pray-in for the Climate." They have concluded that, were he still alive today, he would join them in declaring that climate change is one of the greatest moral issues of our time.Interfaith Moral Action on Climate - Home
They will be praying with their feet and bodies as well as with their spirits. At the end of their multi-religious service, some of them will assume positions of prayer according to their respective traditions on the forbidden sidewalk in front of the White House, thereby risking arrest. Dr. King taught that civil disobedience was called for in times of extreme danger to the nation -- in this case, the planet.

I am firmly convinced that some are incapable of embarrassment. A scientific study should be done to find the missing "embarrassment" gene and why it was never developed, since a child acquires it around 4-5 years old.
If they actually believed in a powerful God then they wouldn't need Obama. They are accusing God of punishing mankind for pursuing prosperity and for not being able to create an earth that is self-regulating. All those fossil fuels which are part of the earth and are perfectly formed for what they do should be considered, by a religious person, to be a gift from God. They are practicing the wrong religion by worshiping the creation rather than the Creator.
