Abstract

In this contribution, we pose three questions. The first is whether anthropogenic climate change is producing natural disasters. The second is whether all human beings are responsible for this climate change—and, therefore, for natural disasters. The third is to what extent God bears responsibility for the natural disasters caused by climate change. To the first, we answer: yes, there is anthropogenic climate change causing the current natural disasters. To the second: no, not all human beings are responsible. To the third: God is not responsible for natural disasters. We will attempt to justify these three answers.
