Episode 106: A Christian Response to Climate Change

Climate change is a matter that floats into and out of news headlines. In early September, 2015, Time magazine published a piece citing climate change as the root cause of the Syria's refugee crisis. Aryn Baker wrote, "From 2006 to 2011, large swaths of Syria suffered an extreme drought that, according to climatologists, was exacerbated by climate change." Added to that, says Baker, mismanagement by the Assad regime displaced two million rural citizens to urban centres, contributing to social unrest and precipitating the civil war. For this episode, we bring you Willard Metzger, executive director of Mennonite Church Canada who was interviewed by Tim Rogers of Grand 101.1 FM in Fergus, Ontario in January, 2016.
