Modern, industrialized nations, primarily of the northern hemisphere, are using the most resources and using them in a way that is creating most of the human-caused damage to the ecosystem. However, that damage most affects those parts of the world which are less industrialized. In other words, on a global scale, the rich are becoming richer (using that term in far more than the monetary sense alone) at the expense of the poor, who are directly suffering as a result. The discussion amongst those who don't have their heads buried in the sand is not over whether humans are causing such global change, but rather how much change we are causing and how soon it will become catastrophic.
Knowing this, what am I to do about it? I don't think there is a single answer for all people. While we will need to address some big issues as a community/nation/global population, there is also a question of individual response. For those of us who follow Christ, it will be one integral piece of our calling.
