초록

The aim of this paper is to understand global warming problem and present Christian ethical answer to ecosystem crisis. According to this purpose, this paper will study the earth as the ground of human life and examine the historical perspective and main factors of global warming. On the historical perspective, it would be said that global warming is caused by natural climate change, development of human civilization and industrial revolution. The main factors of global warming are increased by greenhouse gases which come out from CO2, CH4, N2O CFCs. This global warming affects the whole ecosystem including human being and all other lives on the earth, agricultural products, water source environment and human society.
Human Existence is also directly related by destroy of ecosystem. Christian ethics needs to give an answer to destroy and crisis of ecosystem and to request the transformation of christian thought way. Many ecologists, natural philosophers and Roman Catholic church leaders say that protestant theology teaches human domination of nature and extortion of nature for his own need. They, thus, insist that theological and ethical teaching of natural neglection must be changed. How, then, does the christian response to their judgement of christian worldview of dominion of nature? Christian responses to their judgement are that christian needs new recognition of domination of nature and practical faith to overcome ecosystem crisis. What, then, is christian answer to corelation between christian doctrine and ecosystem crisis on the reformed theological perspective? What the christian ethics teach is that the absolute domination of nature is on God, human domination of nature is on stewardship and main factor of ecosystem crisis was caused by human fall. In fallen society, christian ethical obligation for ecosystem crisis is to preserve and care for the created nature by God. But perfect restoration of disordered nature by human fall will be restored by redemption of Christ through his death on the cross. He will rule over the new heaven and earth that would be accomplished by His second coming. The ecosystem crisis by global warming increase now more and more with the industrial development and human technology in pragmatic society. Christian must not neglect his obligation on preservation and caring for the nature for which he is called as steward.
