The fact that the increase in these natural disasters is being linked by many, scientifically, to global warming, has led many religious leaders to call for urgent, major and significant reductions of greenhouse gas emissions to slow global warming down. Because it is made up of higher and higher concentrations of those gases, the Earth's atmosphere is becoming much more able to capture and hold the Sun's heat energy. As a result, Earth surface continues to warm. Many greenhouse gases have atmospheric lifetimes exceeding 100 years, so even if the emissions cease completely, temperatures are unlikely to return to what they once were. They can only increase.
Most people know the reason atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases continue to increase.
More and more people, driving more and more cars, more and more miles, burning more and more gas. And more and more people, buying more and more products, which are shipped more and more miles, burning more and more fuel. And more and more people, flying more and more miles, burning more and more fuel. And there are more and more people, who are burning more and more fossil fuels, in their pursuit of recreational activities that rely on energy from burning fossil fuels, oftentimes frivolous and whimsical reasons, and the increases in those activities result in pollution of the air with other gases or particles, that makes it more difficult for other human to breath as well, and also to live and otherwise enjoy peace and quiet that had previously been more available to most people but no longer is. The following conference can be attended regardless of which faith one has adopted.
