The faith community is becoming an important voice on global warming:

United States Conference of Catholic Bishops: "We believe our response to global climate change should be a sign of our respect for God's creation. At its core, global climate change is not about economic theory or political platforms, nor about partisan advantage or interest group pressures. It is about the future of God's creation and the one human family."

American Rabbis on Responsibilities to Future Generations: "Therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live." (Deuteronomy 30:20) Humankind has a solemn obligation to improve the world for future generations. Minimizing climate change requires us to learn how to live within the ecological limits of the Earth, so that we will not compromise the ecological or economic security of those who come after us." 116th Annual Convention of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, 2005.

Richard Cizik of the National Association of Evangelicals: "If you look at Genesis 2:15, He tells us to be stewards of the earth and creation. We simply cannot ignore the fact that climate change is real and that we must take urgent action to reduce green house gasses. This is all part of our stewardship responsibilities."

In turn, 86 evangelical Christian leaders have decided to back the "Evangelical Climate Initiative" to fight global warming, saying "millions of people could die in this century because of climate change, most of them our poorest global neighbors."

World Council of Churches: "We have used little over one century to come to this situation of crisis. Radical changes have to take place in order to make the transition to sustainability within the current century. This is the moment to decide on these changes. Let us acknowledge that the use of the atmosphere—being a Global Commons—has to be shared equally and justly." World Council of Churches Statement to UN Climate Change Conference, 2005
