About This Collection

Reframing climate change to climate justice affords us the opportunity to view climate change science through the lens of environmental, social and economic justice and understand that global warming is an ethical and moral issue.  A major proposition of climate justice is that those who are least responsible for climate change suffer its gravest consequences.

The purpose of this collection is to draw your attention to the many voices of climate justice to educate and inspire you.  Of particular note, "Faith communities carrying this message (of climate justice) are potentially powerful voices on climate change – voices that have been largely silent on the issue until recently."   

EarthSayers.tv has also started a Web collection, here as a blog, on Faith and Climate Justice.

Putting a Social Price on Carbon by Maggie Fox

The Social Cost of Carbon (SCC) estimates the monetary damages from carbon pollution, valuing the current costs of climate change.

The Obama Administration required agencies to factor these damages into new policies. After scientific analysis, the current estimate increased to $37 per metric ton of carbon pollution.

However, Big Oil and Big Coal oppose this increase, seeking to reduce the SCC to continue reckless pollution. For more updates, read our blog. Published Jan 21, 2014.
