Anybody who follows British politics or media knows that it’s party conference season. This week, it’s the turn of Labour, who’ve gathered in Brighton Conference Centre – right in the middle of a seat which will almost certainly turn Green in the next election. The Labour Party is doing its best to defy the rather [...]
Continuing our series on reasons that Christians should care about the environment, today we deal with a bit of the Bible that has sometimes been misinterpreted to justify environmental destruction, but which actually means that we have a responsibility to look after the environment. But before we begin, here’s a list of links to the [...]
There seems to be a lot of pro-environment posturing going on in the run-up to the Copenhagen climate congress. Hopefully this increases the chance of the summit coming up with a deal that will actually reduce carbon emissions by a substantial amount. However, the cynic in me thinks that a lot of this is going [...]
Continuing our series on reasons Christians should care about the environment. Part 1: Environment: Who Cares? Part 2: Environment: Who Owns it?

Which means that the immediate future of wind power is likely to require convincing NIMBYs that it’s in their best interest to sacrifice the purity of the view out their window in order [...]
The recent news that the Conservative party is losing its members offers a great opportunity for other parties. Falling party membership usually means that the party membership is, in large part, disillusioned with the direction in which their party is going. Not only are there fewer members to campaign for the party, but also those [...]
This post continues the series I started last weekend about the core principles that should lead Christians to care about the environment. The question of how the universe came into being should have major implications for how we approach it. What we think of our place in the universe is vital to our understanding of [...]
The BBC reports that the Royal Society has been evaluating the possibilities of Geo-Engineering to reduce climate change. Geo-engineering, if you haven’t come across the term before, means dealing with climate change in ways that don’t involve cutting carbon emissions. The report examines a whole range of technologies which are said to be able to [...]
