- Final report from Obama's office of Faith Based initiatives urges religions to advance global warming policy (referred to as 'Environment and Climate Change' in the report). Care of the environment is normal, necessary and completely separate from fraud of catastrophic man made global warming:
- How exactly can the government enlist congregations in the climate-change fight?
Step 1: Set up an office at the Environmental Protection Agency “to actualize the potential of faith-based and community groups and their networks across the country toward greening and retrofitting buildings”:
[A]n Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships at the EPA could . . . activate faith- and community-based networks to promote energy efficiency, environmental responsibility, and green jobs. With minimal personnel costs to the government, massive partnerships could be scaled up through engaging religious and community leaders and organizations.
The council hopes the new EPA faith office will also help churches and other nonprofits
- improve “access to financing,” including “establishing revolving loan programs or working with utility companies to help
- finance greening building projects.”
The ultimate aim of all this government-supported retrofitting is clear: “Regional staff would work to engage local faith-and community-based groups
- to help meet Obama administration targets for greening buildings and promoting environmental quality.” [Emphasis added.]
The report adds: “We believe that faith- and community-based groups, as well as the general American public, could be better mobilized toward environmental goals with a well-publicized and centralized educational campaign” (to be hosted and promoted through a government website) that, among other things,
“asks faith-based and neighborhood organizations to collaborate in developing these resources which should emphasize that environmental and climate change concerns are often closely
- connected to issues of justice and equity.” "...
