The reach of environmental problems today urges people to consider more carefully how interdependent they are with one another and with the entirety of ecological processes across the globe. Moreover, climate change requires faith in their unique human capacity to live morally in the context of uncertainty that a newly expanded sense of community has created. What is needed, then, to cultivate an ethics adequate to the problems they face is a restored sense of what it means to be a human being in the broadest of biological contexts and concomitant reinvigorated faith to consider the well-being of the entire human family and of the planet itself. Handley discusses faith and the ethics of climate change.
