As we reflect on the current economic crisis and the Copenhagen Climate Summit, I’m reminded of the documentary The Burning Season, which I caught during the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival. In this film Dorjee Sun, a young Australian entrepreneur, asks the question, ”Can you make money and still save the environment?” His quest to find investors in his carbon trading scheme explores the question, “Can one person make a difference?” My interview with Cathy Henkel, writer, director, and co-producer of The Burning Season, will appear in a future issue of Sojourners. In the meantime, here’s a clip from the film:

I will express myself with civility, courtesy, and respect for every member of the Sojourners online community, especially toward those with whom I disagree—even if I feel disrespected by them. (Romans 12:17-21)
I will express my disagreements with other community members' ideas without insulting, mocking, or slandering them personally. (Matthew 5:22)
I will not exaggerate others' beliefs nor make unfounded prejudicial assumptions based on labels, categories, or stereotypes. I will always extend the benefit of the doubt. (Ephesians 4:29)
I will hold others accountable by clicking "report" on comments that violate these principles, based not on what ideas are expressed but on how they're expressed. (2 Thessalonians 3:13-15)
I understand that comments reported as abusive are reviewed by Sojourners staff and are subject to removal. Repeat offenders will be blocked from making further comments. (Proverbs 18:7)

My prognosis of the Copenhagen Climate Summit shortly after Obama's address to the UN several months ago was that the hype over the global warming hoax would turn into a power grab by elitists seeking to suppress the poor in third world countries. You make you own call. Apparently, this is what has been going on right from the get go. It is all about controlling carbon and making money.
