The signatories of the ECI need to know who has duped them.  They also need to know the truth behind so-called “global warming.”  If you are associated with any of the signatories, please let them know that the policies they are supporting are dangerous, especially to those they really want to help.  Some of the bigger surprises on the list of signatories include:

• Dr. Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life
• Dr. Jack Hayford, television/radio evangelist
• David Neff, editor of Christianity Today
• Dr. Peter Borgdorff, executive director of the Christian Reformed Church
• Clive Calver, former president of World Relief
• Richard Stearns, president of World Vision
• Commissioner W. Todd Bassett of the Salvation Army
• Michael Nyenhuis, president of MAP International
• Dr. Timothy George, well-known author
• Countless Christian college and university presidents, including those heading up Wheaton College (IL), Calvin College (MI), and Gordon College (MA)

Christian leaders should look toward the Copenhagen Consensus if they’re serious about being good stewards.  More than anyone, Christians should be wary of throwing their money after impossible goals when achievable aims – such as combating HIV/AIDS, malaria, and malnutrition - are in sight.  That’s the true definition of stewardship.

Another group of Christian evangelicals – including Dr. Jim Dobson, Dr. D. James Kennedy, Dr. Marvin Olasky, and Rev. Robert Sirico - has founded the Interfaith Stewardship Alliance as an alternative to the ECI.

The Acton Institute’s Jordan Ballor examines stewardship and economics in a recent article.

Eight years ago, the National Center published an important policy paper entitled “What Scriptures Tell Us About Environmental Stewardship.”

A great study by the National Center for Policy Analysis argues that it's more cost-effective to learn how to live with global warming than trying to combat it.
