THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING CAPITALISM vs THE CLIMATE by Naomi Klein.

Addressing a Changing Environment by Dorothy Boorse and a host of contributors. Copyright 2011. A conversation piece from the National Association of Evangelicals.

This is a remarkable report on the effects of the changing environment on the poor. The document covers four subjects. First it covers a biblical basis for Christian engagement, then a look at changing environments around the world. Then it goes into insight of how environmental variances affect the poor and finally what Christians should do. It is a remarkable short discussion on a very complex subject.
