Global Warming

The earth is God's creation, and mankind has been entrusted with its stewardship. Yet as concerns about global warming and climate change continue to grow, how should Christians understand these issues and respond to the environmental challenges facing the world? In *Global Warming: The Christian and Climate Change*, Bert Cargill examines the evidence for climate change, explains the science behind global warming and considers the responsibilities of Christians in caring for God's creation. The book explores the differences between weather and climate, the role of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in rising global temperatures and the measures being taken to reduce emissions and remove CO₂ from the atmosphere. It also considers the efforts of individuals, governments and international organisations to address climate change, alongside evidence of past climatic changes. Throughout, the author approaches these subjects from a biblical perspective, recognising God's sovereignty over creation and His revealed purposes for the future of the earth. While Scripture teaches that greater changes are yet to come, Cargill emphasises that this does not excuse careless living or disregard for the environment today. Combining scientific explanation with biblical teaching and practical considerations, *Global Warming* encourages Christians to think carefully about environmental stewardship, the responsible use of resources and their response to climate change in light of God's Word.
