Christian mountaineer speaks out

An evangelical mountaineer is encouraging individual believers to take small, seemingly ‘insignificant’ actions to help combat climate change.

Raphael Moser, a mountain guide and sports coach specialising in Alpine routes, was speaking after it emerged glaciers are melting faster and faster.

‘At present, the melting of ice in the glaciers is about six weeks ahead of an average year, which means that we are well on the way to even more ice melting this year than in the record year of 2003,’ he told the Evangelical Focus website.
