Joseph and the amazing climate adaption plan?
Routinely on this program we look at faith and climate change. Some of the largest organizations in the world are religious, so potentially the biggest players when it comes to climate action. Climate Stew crew member Leah Schade joins us again to talk about a controversial Bible passage that likely has never been seen through a climate change lens before. Mark 3 verses 28-30 talks about an unforgivable sin–blaspheming the Holy Spirit. Leah looks at the Hebrew word for spirit–breath/air to consider our climate crisis and what happens when our pollution goes too far to the point of no return.
Marvin Bloom also weighs in on this Bible theme with his own climate change reading of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. There was a famine and a successful adaptation plan. Pharaoh sure liked it, but was it a just plan? And from our friends at Yale Climate Connections, we hear about a climate change conversion from a meteorologist who went from climate skeptic to climate action figure.
