British Bishops Urge 'Carbon Fast' for Lent

AP

LONDON -- Several prominent Anglican British bishops are urging Christians to keep their carbon consumption in check this Lent.

The 40-day period of penitence before Easter typically sees observant Catholics, Anglicans, and Orthodox Christians give up meat, alcohol or chocolates.

But this year's initiative aims to convince those observing Lent to try a day without an iPod or mobile phone in a bid to reduce the use of electricity -- and thus trim the amount of carbon dioxide spewed into the atmosphere.

Bishop of London Rev. Richard Chartres said that the poorest people in developing countries were the hardest hit by man-made climate change.

He said Tuesday that the "Carbon Fast" was "an opportunity to demonstrate the love of God in a practical way."

LOL. Now that is reeeally political.

Haven't they seen the news? Climate Change is made-up. It's a myth.


So we shouldn't care about our environment?

Sure we should care about our environment, but this hyped-up made-up climate change myth is doing nothing but fueling hysteria.

If it makes you feel better to throw away your cell phone (why just do without it 40 days?) or ipod, great, do it. Also, turn OFF your heat and buy a bicycle to ride to work and get rid of your car...

because they are attributing it to Lent in this article.


Hay - No one on this forum is against protecting the environment. However, when stuff like this is done in the name of "climate change" or "global warming", most of us are going to automatically cry foul. Otherwise we will only being fueling the hysteria of this nonsense.
