Evangelical Environmental Network & Creation Care Magazine
Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN) is a unique evangelical ministry
whose purpose is to "declare the Lordship of Christ over all creation"
(Col. 1:15-20). EEN was formed because we recognize many "environmental"
problems are fundamentally spiritual problems. EEN's flagship publication,
Creation Care Magazine, provides you with biblically informed and
timely articles on topics ranging from how to protect your loved ones
against environmental threats to how you can more fully praise the
Creator for the wonder of His creation.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change provides expert information on the reality and the seriousness of global warning. http://www.ipcc.ch/
