The organization is called “Hazon”

If the members of your synagogue are anything like the typical "true believers" of the climate change hoax you're probably out of luck. I suspect that the best way to tell is if you hear mumblings of "Orange Man Bad" with any regularity there. If you do it's probably a lost cause.

Just my 2 cents' worth...

My temple is joining a climate change organization.

My sincere condolences.

How do I best register my disagreement with this?

Frankly, I don't know how best to go about that!

Churches and temples probably belong to lots of half-assed organizations that a true conservative would find questionable, ridiculous, or downright objectionable. One doesn't want to be the "Karen" who always insists that everything be exactly according to her preferences.

Maybe the first step should be to find out who suggested/decided this in the first place.

It might have been a single, contentious, and irascible individual - and everyone else simply "went along" with him just to avoid trouble.

After you've determined "who's to blame," you can decide whether you want to approach that one individual or clique - or if it would be more effective to first seek out allies in your congregation.

But: By all means do something! Or next week, you'll find that your temple is hosting "Drag Queen Kiddie Shows."

Best of luck!

Regards,

Stands to reason, Climate Change is a religion after all.

Leave. You cannot change the broken people in charge.

Or just laugh to yourself and ignore it.

But I’d be happier worshipping without all that crap.

Be honest and tell them what you think, and leave if necessary.

Having studied Climate Change professionally for more than 40 years, if people are honest, they will recognize that Climate Change is a gift from G-d, and totally necessary for life on earth. In fact, without Climate change, life would cease to exist. Carbon Dioxide is a miracle chemical that is incredibly efficient. It is a waste byproduct of our life and is a gift to plant life, which in turn, feeds us with its waste product of oxygen and other life saving chemicals. Oil and Gas production has saved the lives of billions of people through the last century, and has improved the quality of life worldwide. On the other hand, the wastes of so-called ‘renewables’ has created an environmental nightmare. Wind turbine blades (windmills), spent solar panels, and expired batteries are littering the earth with hazardous materials which might be impossible to get rid of. So, I hope you have figured out that your Temple folks might just be a little light on facts.

Tell them you’re going to do your part to save energy by staying home — and never darken the door of that place again.

They use it to justify an immoral agenda. So to embrace it is immoral.

“Willful ignorance of subversion and conspiracy is just as complicit as being directly involved in the subversion and conspiracy.”

I wouldn’t lose any sleep over this. Green weenies have been composing these little tip sheets ever since Earth Day 1070 about how to save the world by any number of meaningless gestures. Religious leaders of all stripe seem especially vulnerable to emotional appeals and superficial “solutions” that allow them to feel virtuous.

All the comments which I have read so far on this thread are pertinent.

The only and proper thing to do is find another synagogue, but, at the minimum, drop any financial pledge you might have made in terms of membership. The Hazon group is LGBT Leftist, and the ego of the Brit that started it is amazing, as he argued that a word in Hebrew was a trademark that other groups could not use.

Thus two wholly antithetical visions of society and politics, and the Lefty wants to own the word "vision." This is the now standard footprint of the Left worldwide.

Tell them you can abide hypocrisy, and you can’t join with them unless everybody in the organization gets rid of their IC automobiles, any use of natural gas (including heating the temple itself), any use of air conditioning, and all use of plastics.
