Baby, it’s hot outside

A few days ago, my family and I left the relatively cool climes of Scotland, although it was hotter and drier there than it ever was during our many previous visits, and we returned to the scorching heat of the Midwest.

We will be be back home here for a few days before going on another trip, this one to the northwest, where we hope to enjoy a respite from heat and drought.

I heard climate scientist Katherine Hayhoe—who is the subject of the Washington Post article below—speak at the Trinity (Episcopal Church, Wall Street ) Institute a few years ago about the earth’s increasingly “weird “ weather. Weird was her word.

She spoke then and now as a data-driven scientist and as a person of deep faith in God. She demonstrates that Christians, including evangelical Protestant ones, do care, can care and must care about God’s creation.

I hope more people will listen to Katherine and to the many other experts who warn us about global warming. I also hope that all of us will do all we can to care for this earth and will strive to persuade our political leaders to do the same, while we still have time to save our planet.
