Great Warming Call to Action Launches
with Simultaneous Release of United Statement on Climate Change by Coalition of
Secular and Faith Organizations

 

(New York, NY- Oct. 18, 2006)  The launch
of a major statement calling for immediate action on climate change has brought
together a diverse coalition of voices from every spectrum of thought, all of
whom believe that environmental stewardship and creation care must become a top
policy priority.

 

The statement, which is being issued in advance of the
November 3 release of the new climate change film The Great Warming, is one
part of a major initiative by the coalition and the film's producer Stonehaven
Productions to engage Americans in proactive action and advocacy.  The coalition is urging all Americans to see
the movie and thus let elected officials at all levels know that global warming
is an urgent priority

 

The Great Warming Call to Action statement — signed by
high-profile religious leaders from across the faith and ideological spectrum,
key policy-makers, celebrities, environmental groups, and many of the most
respected scientists in the world — calls on our country to take immediate
action to address climate change.

 

Regal Cinemas, which does not generally release independent
documentary films, committed to a national release of The Great Warming following months of calls from people who viewed
the documentary in their communities and churches and became convinced that the
movie must reach a broad audience in order to galvanize action on climate
change.
