Here’s an excerpt regarding "climate justice" courtesy of Oliver Milman at The Guardian. He reports: ‘World can’t afford to silence us’: black church leaders address climate change​: African American religious leaders have added their weight to calls for action on climate change, with one of the largest and oldest black churches in the US warning that black people are disproportionally harmed by global warming and fossil fuel pollution. The African Methodist Episcopal church has passed its first resolution in its 200-year history devoted to climate change, calling for a swift transition to renewable energy. “We can move away from the dirty fuels that make us sick and shift toward safe, clean energy like wind and solar that help make every breath our neighbors and families take a healthy one,” states the resolution, which also points to research showing that black children are four times as likely as white children to die from asthma. The resolution was passed at the church’s general conference in Philadelphia, where more than 30,000 members gathered.
