Cheap energy produced by fossil fuels has given us better medicines, cleaner water, warmer homes, cheaper and more plentiful food, more leisure time and a longer lifespan. It also provided the means of producing the clothes and glasses the young ladies below are wearing, the sign that they are holding and the dentistry that permits them to display their toothy grins with such aplomb.
The Diocese of Huron wants to divest from fossil fuels; Canon Linda Nixon from that diocese is the one on the left brandishing the sign.
The sign isn’t completely inaccurate: if she had her way it certainly would endanger our grandchildren.
It should be noted that at our present rates there will not BE any grandchildren.
Us and our grandchildren are not endangered but we reside safely in the hand of our God . This earth will not cease to be before God wills it to cease. Does that mean we not care for this earth, no,we will be held accountable for how we care for this earth. We will not bring the earth to finality, God will.
The Diocese of Urine, oops, Huron boasts a sixty per rural population within its remaining churches. That being said, most have outside ‘loo’s’. There should be enough excrement to sustain the church well into the next decade.
