"Either WE get our numbers and our activities into harmony with the powers of the earth to support life; or, collapsing ecosystems will do the job for us."
Introduction to a GP Manifesto from the 1980s.
QUESTIONS
What does it mean by "numbers"?
Is God in charge or is it life support systems?
What does it mean, "the powers of the earth"?
What are ecosystems?
Where does nature come into all of this?
Is the idea of stewardship found in the Bible?
Or is a steward a servant to a master?
What do they mean by ecosystems collapsing?
Does all this put too much responsibility on us humans when God is in charge and in full control, anyway?
Does net zero have anything to do with stewardship or, even discipleship?
What does net zero mean, anyway?
Or, should we just leave all net Zero actions to government.

- The UK government has a target to reach net zero emissions by 2050.
