Archbishop Of Canterbury - Leaders Will Answer To God For Climate Inaction

[hatrack]

THE Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, told political leaders yesterday that they would face “a heavy responsibility before God” if they failed to act to control climate change.

“Nobody likes talking about governmental coercion in this respect — whether it is speed limits or anything else. “Nobody, for that matter, likes talking about enforceable international protocols,” the Archbishop told the Today programme on BBC Radio 4.

“And yet, unless there is a real change in attitude, we have to contemplate these very unwelcome possibilities if we want the global economy not to collapse and millions, billions, of people not to die.”

Dr Williams said that global warming was a moral issue.

1. I really like that guy.

He's a model of a good Christian.

2. Agreed

I've met a lot of genuinely good "grass-roots" Christians who really
live their lives according to their beliefs (rather than just paying
lip-service to the Paulist, misogynistic, establishment "Church")
but Williams is the first seriously senior one who has impressed me.
