In June 2004, UUA's General Assembly voted to study and act on the issue of Global Warming for two years, as part of the the Study Action Issue process. The description of the issue that was voted on is at Threat of Global Warming - 2004 Study/Action Issue.
If you know of resources which will be useful in studying the issue, please list them below. An extensive "SAI Resource Guide" will be sent to congregations in October 2004, and there is still probably time to enhance that packet.
Also use this page to keep track of what congregations are active, what successes and failures can be reported, etc.
Another popular term for the problem is "Global Climate Change", which reflects the great breadth of issues. For example, these include warming in many areas, cooling in some areas, precipitation changes, changes in ocean currents and ice patterns, all of which interact with ecosystems in profoundly complex ways.
The resolution was initiated at Mt. Diablo UU Church by Art Ungar and others.
