Global warming should be an interfaith initiative, not just "A group of evangelical leaders urging Christians, including president, to confront climate change." (The Oregonian Editorial - February 13).
If President Bush wants to leave his mark on the history he must read the words of the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize winner, His Holiness The Fourteenth Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, in the Introduction of his book 'My Tibet':
"Our planet is our house, and we must keep it in order and take care of it if we are genuinely concerned about happiness for ourselves, our children, our friends, and other sentient beings who share this great house with us."
President Bush should take urgent action to "keep our house in order", as The Norwegian Nobel Committee in Oslo, Norway on October 5, 1989 said in deciding the Nobel Peace Prize, about The Dali Lama's philosophy "the concept of universal responsibility embracing all mankind as well as nature."
