Christianity And The Environmental Crisis

An environmentalist is a person worships the environment and cares for nature more than people. Christians and others share the common perception that environmental ethics exist for how human beings should relate to the land, the free market perceptive and the environmental perceptive. Humans share a relationship with all creations of the earth. But as humans, they find themselves as having a role in the created order which is they have a closer relationship with the creator who has charged them with acting responsible within his creation. Even allowing a common complaint of environmental activists is that Stewardship means that the earth was made exclusively because of human beings - that having dominion upper nature is the same as

“For this is what the Lord says, he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited” (Isaiah 45:18 NIV). Meaning that our earthly habitat is not unexpected, it is worth more than anything in this world. “For by him all things were created: things in heaven and or earth, visible and invisible, weather thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together” (Colossians 1:16-17 NIV).

The environmental crisis is actually two separate crises, although they share a common cause. Many could view it as a tree with two branches: One branch represents what is happening to our planet through the accumulation of heat-trapping gases. The second branch represents what is happening to us through the accumulation of inherently toxic chemical pollutants in our bodies.

As a member of the National Rural Electric Company I am presenting to you the idea of cutting off the carbon dioxide limitations is not the brightest of decisions. It will change the world as we know it.

Our environment is constantly changing. There is no denying that. However, as our environment changes, so does the need to become increasingly aware of the problems that surround it. With a massive influx of natural disasters, warming and cooling periods, different types of weather patterns and much more, people need to be aware of what types of environmental problems our planet is facing.

“Human population rise, industrilisation and the increased requirement for natural resources has led to many environmental problems, beside global warming. With reference to specific examples, discuss those environmental problems and their possible solutions.”

The Energy Crisis as stated in the textbook was an oil shortage or petroleum shortage and a high demand for it basically rising. In the United States and other following countries. “Americans found themselves parked for hours in mile long lines at gasoline stations” (America A Concise History 850). In the textbook it also said that gas prices took a significant increase to 40% and heat to 30%. If you think about it that is a great increase in percentages, so I know that the people felt helpless. On the other hand, Environmentalism in the U.S. seemed like from the text it was a movement that began on the first earth day we had on April 22. What basically happened was “20 million people gathered in communities across the country to express their support for a

The environment is becoming weak and defecated through a rise in industrialization. Increasing industry has caused many environmental issues and disasters to occur such as earthquakes, air pollution, and further medical issues for people.

The most misguided reading was Historical Roots of our Ecological Crisis by Lynn White. This was one of the first pieces we read and I didn’t realize my distaste for her stance on how to fix the ecological crisis until after reading and discussing many of the other works throughout the semester. The other works opened my eyes to different views that could be taken based on history and the predicted future. They made me realize how misguided Lynn White was in her description of, not only, the problem causing the ecological crisis, but also the only way to fix said crisis.

Select and briefly describe at least three key environmental issues (overpopulation, food depletion, ocean pollution, climate change, sea level rise, mass extinction, etc.) discussed in this week’s readings. Include specific information, such as statistics and quotations, from at least two of the readings in your description. Given this information, is environmental alarmism justified, in your view?

Our earthly habitat is not an unexpected occurrence of little worth, but rather, it is one to be highly valued and preserved. The biblical doctrine of creation helps the Christian to understand the true significance of the world in order to deal with the environmental crisis. The Bible says, “For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited…” (King James Version, Isaiah 45:18). In Christian teaching, God not only created Heavens and Earth, but expressed His delight in His creation. This creation meant, everything encompassing the trees, the

One human factor to environmental problems is the human population. A large population requires a lot of the environments resources and land, putting an incredible strain on the Earth (Gerber and Macionis 2012). If the Earth is over populated, and

Rapid unfolding of devastating changes in the ecosystems, historically high air and water temperatures, resulting in escalating number and frequency of natural cataclysms, prolonged droughts and record rainfalls leading to massive floods, raising sea levels, exponentially increasing levels of air and water pollution - all these factors should prompt us to stop and reconsider the role of our contribution to the environmental chaos in the universe. Acknowledging all the emerging scientific data, the preservation of our environment becomes our principal personal duty not only to the future generations but even more so to ourselves. The gruesome perspective of the fulminant development of the destructive consequences of ever-rising consumerism,

The environmental crisis is the biggest crisis of our time, climate change, scarcity of fresh water, land contamination and bio diversity loss are just a few of the problems caused by the environmental crisis. Macro as well as grass roots organizations have formed to combat the dire effects of the environmental crisis like the United Nations frame work on Environmental Change and The Green Belt Movement in Kenya. The environmental crisis led to initiatives such as “sustainable development” but

Environmental issues have been a cause of a lot of debate in the recent past. Governments and nongovernmental organizations have been in constant consultations on how to help protect the environment. Apparently, as a result of man’s many actions, the natural environment is getting torn apart so quickly that the coming generations will not enjoy this kind of environment, unless a
