Adam Hamilton on Energy & Oil

 

 


Stewardship includes changing your behavior to reduce carbon

One sermon [at Adam Hamilton's megachurch] saw Hamilton call on his congregation to repent over their carbon footprints. "That's what repentance means--I saw things differently, it changed my heart, and it changed my behavior," Hamilton said during a January 2020 sermon called, "What would Jesus say about climate change?"

"So what I'm calling you to today, and I'm calling myself to it, because I've been wasteful, I've done things that wasn't, you know, I didn't think about it, how it wasn't really good stewardship of the earth around me," he continued. "I'm calling us to repentance to say, 'I realize that this has impact, even if it seems small, it has an impact on the world and future generations. And I feel badly about that, and I'm going to do something different from this time forward.'"

Hamilton's sermon was part scripture, part PowerPoint presentation on how greenhouse gases occur and their impact on the environment [including how eating] beef was a major contributor to the problem.

Recommends reducing your usage of fossil fuels

Hamilton's sermon [at his megachurch in January 2020] was part scripture, part PowerPoint presentation on how greenhouse gases occur and their impact on the environment. And during his 44-minute talk, Hamilton suggested that one of Kansas' staple economic drivers, beef, was a major contributor to the problem. "Some of the things that we grow, because we like to eat them, like cattle, end up producing more carbon dioxide than other crops that we could grow, other forms of food that we could have," Hamilton said. "And so, in all of these ways, we are creating or adding to the amount of greenhouse gases in our world."

"Now, you got to do everything you can to reduce your own usage of fossil fuels, but maybe changing your diet so that the things that you eat are requiring less production that creates methane and carbon dioxide and everything else," Hamilton said.

Supports all of the above energy production

Stop the war on domestic energy projects and restore energy production tax credits that increase our energy independence and create good-paying jobs. Adam supports all of the above energy production and believes Kansans should decide what happens on their land. More than two dozen Republican members of Congress asked to protect these credits before they were repealed, threatening nearly 10,000 jobs and shrinking the state's economy by over $1 billion.
