Bishop of Liverpool, James Jones:

"The Liverpool poet Gerard Manley Hopkins wrote in his poem 'God's Grandeur' that 'nature is never spent'. I wonder if would have written so optimistically today. Operation Noah challenges us to act before we reach the point of no return. The earth is not a punch bag to be pummelled by our greed. It's God's gift. It's sacred. It needs sustaining for his sake and ours. For heaven's sake and the earth's, support Operation Noah."

Bishop of London, Richard Chartres:

"Operation Noah brings together a rainbow coalition drawn from across the faith spectrum. They combine a rigorous respect for the scientific facts of the case together with campaigning passion. If we want to be part of the solution of the problem of Climate Change, Operation Noah is a good ship to enlist on."

Revd John M Marsh, Moderator-Elect of the General Assembly (2008-2010), the United Reformed Church:

"We need Operation Noah to make us listen properly and help us understand better why we must address climate change issues now. 'Single issue' campaign organisations can be a real pain - and so they should be. We don't expect to enjoy understanding and adapting to climate change, but realise that hopeful progress often involves creative pain. Operation Noah deserves support"

Archbishop of Cardiff, Peter Smith:

"It is becoming very clear now that dealing with the environmental effect of climate change is an urgent and important issue. Whilst generally there is a much greater awareness of this than a few years ago, clearly much still needs to be done. Groups such as Noah, which ground the scientific evidence in a sound Christian theology of Creation, have a vital role in continuing to raise awareness, especially amongst Catholics and other Christian group."
