The United Nations, climate change The Battle for Jesus
Jesus sees The United Nations as vital to accommodating climate change.
Accommodating climate change is his mission and The United Nations is ‘the only room the world can sit in’.

This story is set in 2006, at the height of the invasion and ‘occupation’ of Iraq and a White House deaf to any form of unification that would avert the perils of climate change.
Today those perils are upon us. The ice is melting, the seas are rising and warming; and leadership, particularly in the United States, ignores the cries of the world. However, Joe Biden has since become President of the United States (2021) and has joined the fight against climate change. He can unite the world to fight the perils of global warming.
Jesus takes his love for the world, his love for the children of the future, indeed all creatures, to the very end. His battle cry is humanity.
We lose the Arctic, meaning the North Pole, we lose the globe. It is inevitable, irreversible.
In the beginning of this story, Jesus turns the United Nations flag at the World Trade Centre in New York into the wind. Change the wind, change people’s thinking, and hopefully those of politicians who care about the future of the planet. Jesus declares himself, determined to fulfil his mission.

If the politicians will not act to accommodate global warming/climate change, then all is lost. Somehow, Jesus must swing the politicians away from war and domination and onto unification. Jesus, the Lion and the Lamb, as a journalist fearlessly joins the fight against climate change.
Now, with Joe Biden as President (2021) there is finally a sense of optimism, of hope that the US government will lead the fight against climate change, the ultimate threat to the planet.
