Disaster Relief, Climate Change and Fiscal Stewardship | Capital Commentary by Ben Lowe.  MGB: While man does indeed affect climate change, sometimes it is a good thing. We are in a sun spot minimum where cooling would be predicted. Further, the US has actually become better and is leading the way in fighting warming. China, on the other hand, is a disaster - although we are supporting that disaster by making them our chief supplier of goods. Perhaps we can use that leverage to get them to clean up a bit. Christians should be involved in insisting that solutions be brought forward - indeed, Pope Emeritus Benedict was known as an environmentalist pope. Some of the solutions Christians should support can involve changing how companies are owned - moving them from stock ownership by investors to employee and retiree ownership. Such firms are less likely to foul the nest. Sadly, however, there is a point where we must realize that we cannot control the weather (at least not yet), and the best thing we can do, as both Christians and citizens, is move people out of low lying areas through better urban planning and give that land back to nature and God.
