Climate Change

The Church has the Answers. Now is the Time to Speak.

Among the young, there is a growing shift towards feelings of hopelessness about our planet’s future. This despairing fear is being termed “eco-anxiety.”  Writing for Vice.com, Marc-Aurèle Baly describes it as, “...the anticipation of a vague danger, a sort of fear without an object which leaves us unable to react in an articulate manner.” This overwhelming feeling of impending doom is leading to depression, apathy and despair.

We just assume that the energy needed to make those things work will always be there. But the energy sources are changing.

Are we on the edge of biodiversity renewal?
