Rabbi Melanie Aron "equates a do-nothing approach to climate change to a person’s sitting by a pool and reading while a child in sight is drowning"

Nationwide Climate ‘Preach-in’ To Target Broad Faith-Group Congregations | The Yale Forum on Climate Change & The Media

In that same Interfaith video, Rabbi Melanie Aron, of Congregation Shir Hadash, in Los Gatos, Ca., equates a do-nothing approach to climate change to a person’s sitting by a pool and reading while a child in sight is drowning. “You would be seriously condemned,” she says, “but today, many of us are standing idly by while the lives of the children of the future are being seriously threatened.”

Oh, yeah? Well, I say spending billions on extravagant climate change conferences in tropical paradise promoting "solutions" that will have no discernable effect on the climate whatsoever equates with hosting an organic cake and ice cream party for all your elitist, wealthy friends while thousands of starving children - who already live short, miserable lives thanks to your AGW abatement policies - stand around the perimeter and watch you and your friends gorge yourselves on expensive desserts.

I read down to where the Yale forum complain that "skeptics are also targeting faith groups".
That prompted me to write the following for their moderated (closed?) forum.

"It's interesting that the Yale forum has been actively tub thumping (or maybe I should say ringing the church bell?) trying to co-opt religious leaders into supporting their environmental extremism since 2005.

On Google the phrase "Yale Forum on religion ... " auto completes as "Yale forum on Religion and Ecology".
It's as if Yale has no no need for religious people outside of their use as pawns in the push to ultimate state power through the ecology / global warming lobby activities.

I think you need to fix that before you start pointing fingers at others, calling them dark (sort of racist isn't it) or suggesting they have nefarious motives.
Your motives are definitely out in the wind for all to smell."

We'll see if they have an open forum at least.
