Catholic Social Teaching and the Problem of Global Warming
Our social justice topic is on Global Warming, also known as climate change. The main reason for this climate change is because of the increased amount of greenhouse gases we are producing. Greater amounts of light have penetrated the earth's surface, increasing the temperature. Since the temperature is rising, the ice caps around the world have slower been deteriorating. We are called to make a change and help save our environment.
CST #1- Life and the Dignity of the Human Person
What this CST is talking about is that every life should be considered important and sacred. There is no life that does not matter. Every life has a purpose and a meaning behind it. No life should be taken for granted and no life should be thought of as useless and unimportant. This CST relates to our topic of Global Warming because it shows that every persons life is sacred. Global Warming is creating an environment that we soon will no longer be able to live in. People's lives are at risk because of a change that no one is making. If every life is sacred, then people should make the change in Global Warming so no lives will be lost in the future.

CST #2- Call to Family, Community, and Participation
What this CST is talking about is how every family and community has the right to be treated well and given a chance to survive. Everyone deserves to be able to live their life the way they want without the constant worry of being injured of killed and this takes participation from everyone so that they will all be safe in society. This CST relates to our topic of Global Warming because it states that every person deserves the right to live and this can be done as a community by making the world more environmentally friendly. Global Warming is causing our world to slowly start deteriorating and if it is not changed by the global community then we will not be able to survive and lives will be lost. Every life is worth something so we need to change our bad habits to protect our planet.
