• Jesus is the good shepherd who lays his life down for his sheep. He humbled himself to the point of becoming man and suffering death in order to save us. I think we can learn a lot from His example, in that just as Christ is our good shepherd, likewise we are %26quot;shepherds%26quot; (stewards) of creation. We are to exercise dominion over creation in the same spirit that Christ exercises dominion over us. We are to serve in love for the benefit of all, never seeking to exploit or to use for our own selfish gain. And if necessary, we must be ready to sacrifice and to humble ourselves for the sake of creation, just as God (incredibly!) did so for us.
  
  With respect to global climate change, I think that Christ would have us do all that we can to mitigate the problem, and to help those most vulnerable to its negative impacts to adapt as best they can to the new environment in which we will live. This holds both for our human neighbors, and for the other creatures which God created...remembering that even as we (humans) are worth more than they (the sparrows), this inherently makes them %26quot;the least of these%26quot;. Christ I think, would remind us that our God-given %26quot;job%26quot; on this earth is to be good stewards, and that all God%26#039;s creation was created %26quot;good%26quot;...but that we are responsible for and accountable for its welfare--somehow trusting that %26quot;God will provide%26quot; and then ignoring the problem is nothing more than a copout--we will reap what we sow...and right now, we are reaping global climate change as a result of our extreme extravagance, waste, and materialism.
  
  I think Christ would also remind us however, that no matter what happens, we always have hope in Him. No matter how bleak the outlook, no matter how bad the consequences of climate change that we will reap, that He will walk with us through it all and see us through to the other side. Though it is foolish to ignore problems, it is likewise foolish to succumb to despair--those who do so (many environmentalists in particular) are in many ways worse off than those who believe there is no problem at all.
  
  Hope this provides a bit of insight :)
  In Christ,

  And here are a host of Biblical references which explain why:

• Seven years ago, he wouls say, hmmm, it is getting warm and turn down the thermostat. Ooops, that is exactly what has happened.
• He might repeat,
  “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.%26quot;
• He would instead direct individuals to examine themselves rather than a vast, ambiguous cause like this one.
• The penalty for bearing false witness is spelled out in the Bible.
  
  Even the winds and the seas obey Him and the CO2 will as well.
• jesus would do the right thing. like ummm . . .
  
  
  well the problems we have global warming !!! (jesus loves you)
• He would say the same thing that Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy would say.
• He would turn lots of water into wine, and fuel cars on wine.
• Seek the truth, and the truth shall set you free.
• He would give us all wooden cars that run on holy water.
• He didn%26#039;t do much about anything then. Why would he now?
