1. One of the purposes of prayer is to help us accept things we cannot change or don't personally or even as a group have any power over. 'Climate change' is one such thing we have no control over.
   
   Cliamte change occurs naturally as part of the movement and variations in distances of the planets and the sun. It has nothing to do with the amount of carbon dioxide created.
   
   What we do have control over is our materialism that produces and in our modern times IMPORTS a lot of products, including junk, that we really do not need. We also have control over air, sea, river and land pollution. Remember these?

2. Oh Lord, help Michael Webb, as he represents the Dinosaur Labor Party (DLP), a party that loves living in 'denial', hates non-Catholics, vilifies and subjugates religious (non religious) and cultural pluralism,and uses religion to justify inaction and prejudices.

3. The fact that the British bishops allow this alternative religion into Catholic churches shows how weak they are, and how they have abandoned their flock.

4. Dear TJ Lawson,
   
   I remember that you wished me a sincere Happy Christmas last year and I accepted that gladly.
   But as a brother in Christ I say to you most sincerely and with concern for you to please, please, please stop making yourself look silly with your hopeless attacks upon the DLP.
   If you are going to criticise the DLP could you please take on any of our policies or any part of our Constitution? I welcome your public input but you need to control yourself first.
   Can you give that a go mate?
   
   All the best.

5. Well, regardless of the mechanism of climate change(s), the Church can implore the Lord to intervene in nature.
   
   That type of petition seemed to be missing in this story?

6. I have never heard of anything so daft. There has been climate change since life was created on earth. It is hubris to think that it is caused by human beings. One can take care of the ecology and reduce pollution but one cannot control the climate. Professor Bob Carter thinks we are more likely heading for an ice age.
   
   This type of Climate change prayer is buying into Al Gore's manipulative agenda. It is using Christians as useful idiots. Some may want to be used in this way - I certainly don't want to be.
