We Pray for Religious Leaders to Understand the Science and Economics of Climate Change and Energy Policy

By E. Calvin Beisner | March 25, 2015

Heavenly Father, I pray for religious leaders like Katharine Jefferts Schori, Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church, who with the best of intentions are urging their followers to embrace global warming alarmism, thinking that by so doing they will help protect the poor. Lord, please open their eyes to the strong scientific evidence that natural forces far outweigh human forces in determining Earth’s temperature and that reducing fossil fuel use will have little or no effect on temperature, and to the strong scientific and economic evidence that reducing fossil fuel use will harm the very poor people she and others like her wish to protect.

In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
