WASHINGTON (AP) â€" Clergy belonging to a group called Interfaith Moral Action on Climate are urging Congress to enact legislation to combat global warming.
Native American, Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu, Bahai, Jewish and Christian activists held a march, worship service and rally Tuesday before heading to Capitol Hill to lobby their elected representatives.
The Rev. Caroll Baltimore, president of the Progressive National Baptist Convention, said he's convinced humans cause global warming and can work together to stop it if they're good stewards of God's Earth.
Rabbi Fred Scherlinder Dobb of Washington D.C. said Congress should enact policies that discourage dependence on fossil fuels. He said, "The light of God is enough to power the Earth many times over our current needs if we only harness it wisely."
