IPCC 6th Assessment Report

Co-authors of the new Australia and New Zealand chapter in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 6th Assessment Report on Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation summarise their findings.  

The Working Group II contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report assesses the impacts of climate change, looking at ecosystems, biodiversity, and human communities at global and regional levels. It also reviews vulnerabilities and the capacities and limits of the natural world and human societies to adapt to climate change.

Psalm 8

 

Divine Majesty and Human Dignity

To the leader: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of David.

1 O Lord, our Sovereign,

    how majestic is your name in all the earth!

2   You have set your glory above the heavens.

  Out of the mouths of babes and infants

you have founded a bulwark because of your foes,

    to silence the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,

    the moon and the stars that you have established;

4 what are human beings that you are mindful of them,

    mortals that you care for them?

5 Yet you have made them a little lower than God,

    and crowned them with glory and honour.

6 You have given them dominion over the works of your hands;

    you have put all things under their feet,

7 all sheep and oxen,

    and also the beasts of the field,

8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea,

    whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

9 O Lord, our Sovereign,

    how majestic is your name in all the earth!

     NRSV
