Strong religious reaction to Trump climate accord decision

Interfaith Room -Not the Religion Room. Courtesy reminder.


By Madeleine Buckley and Jerome Socolovsky


WASHINGTON (RNS) Catholics, Jews, Protestants, Muslims and others reacted vigorously and emotionally to President Trump’s announcement that he will withdraw the United States from the 2015 Paris climate change agreement.

While leaders of the so-called religious left were overwhelmingly critical of the move, conservatives were somewhat divided.

Many who have welcomed other actions by the administration — such as the appointment of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and the rolling back of contraceptive health insurance coverage — were deeply concerned about the impact of the decision, especially on the world’s poor.
