That’s the title of a rather depressing blog entry from Carl Safina about a recent trip to the Artic to observe the impact of climate change on both wildlife and human communities there.
It’s definitely worth reading, but I did feel a twinge on reading Safina’s (to my mind) somewhat glib summary:
As scientists, we have scientific authority. But for moral authority, people look to religious leaders. Scientists develop information about how the world is changing. Religions formulate responses to the changing world.
It’s probably true that people look to religious leaders. It’s just a pity that, to my mind, they often have little to say beyond their own dogma.
