Why is the faith community concerned about global climate change? Justice for poor people who will be most severely impacted by changing weather and rising seas and who have the least capacity to adapt. Justice for future generations who will inherit an unstable climate and potentially catastrophic rises in sea level, migration of tropical diseases, and disrupted agricultural production. Justice for all of creation that is threatened by climate change.
Michigan’s Climate Change Campaign is conducted by Voices for Earth Justice in partnership with the MI Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life.
Brief History:
For updated scientific information--- In 2003 the Union of Concerned Scientists released their report: “Confronting Climate Change in the Great Lakes Region: Impacts on Our Communities and Ecosystems” For an update on that report, done with the Ecological Society of America, please go to: www.ucsusa.org/greatlakes
To schedule a movie night for your congregation or organization, please

HBO movie “Too Hot Not To Handle”, and other global warming feature films.
All the films come with a discussion guide and a list of local solutions.
