Faith in Science
Generated by Midjourney
Katharine Hayhoe is a climate scientist and a Christian. As a kid, she thought science was the coolest thing to study– in fact, her dad was a science teacher. For their family, science was just part of understanding God and understanding God’s word. So Katharine set out to study astrophysics and climate science because, “why wouldn’t you want to understand how the universe works?”
So what did she learn?

Serving the most vulnerable
Katharine learned that climate change not only exacerbates problems such as biodiversity decline, deforestation, and air pollution, but it also intensifies poverty, hunger, insufficient clean water supply, disease, and the refugee crisis.
She realized that by studying how we might slow down global warming, she could also help serve the world's poorest and most vulnerable populations.
