"Climate anxiety" is persuading more and more people to refrain from having kids.

Seeking to overcome the dichotomy that has often pitted faith against science, Pope Francis called for “mutual respect” through dialogue.

Pope Francis encouraged young climate change activists attending an event in Italy to promote human relationships and environmental protections by overcoming divisions.

Sometimes Christians hear apocalyptic news about climate change and feel a distinct urge to change the channel.

After all, that’s what we were created to do.

Rhetoric about climate change is particularly damaging to younger Americans who have “fragile psyches.” I’m not using that description in any disparaging way. According to the NIH, one-third of all kids between the ages 13 and 18 experience an anxiety disorder.

In an open letter to the attendees of the National Prayer Breakfast, several young Evangelicals are calling for climate change action.

On Friday, tens of thousands of students around the world staged a walk out, leaving their classes to demand action on climate change. Well, some students walked out. Many school districts, including across the state of New York, just gave students the day off to join in the protests. It’s still unclear how many students joined the protests and how many enjoyed an extra day off.

In their second round of debates, Democratic presidential candidates called for aggressive measures to slow climate change. As Washington Gov. Jay Inslee has said, “We are the first generation to feel the sting of climate change, and we are the last generation that can do something about it.”

Although Christians have largely turned a wary eye away from climate change, several Christian groups have recently voiced their support for radical legislation in the Green New Deal.
