Dear Editor,
In response to Simon Marsh’s piece ‘Hot, hot and hotter still’ in September’s en, it is disturbing to see another article in the Christian press about a coming climate disaster. This seems to be a prevailing view today, but it is not universally held despite claims to the contrary. It is important for the sake of journalistic balance that different opinions are presented.
There have been doomsday cults from the beginnings of the church, so the climate alarmism gripping much of today’s church is not new. We frequently hear prayers for parts of the world adversely affected by hurricanes, wild fires and floods. Relief organisations show us videos claiming that droughts have been brought about by climate change.
