For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice,
but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself
will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and
glory of the children of God. We know that the whole creation has been groaning
as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.[1]
Climate change is a reality. However, many scientists and
predictors fall into the “Chicken Little” category. These scientists blame
everything on climate change constantly seeking evidence for their feeble
hypotheses. I often wonder where the hordes of climate change disciples are
when forest fires spew millions of tons of carbon into the atmosphere. Are they
helping fight fires, or are they supporting those who do? No! They are in
air-conditioned offices, or on boats taking the temperature of the sea in the
tropics. Some ardent climate change disciples fly to meetings in various parts
of the world on planes soaring above the earth leaving polluted exhaust trails
in the sky. Most climate change proponents are hypocritical phonies. Consider
what has been written about Greenpeace.
Greenpeace has been branded an 'evil
organisation' which has 'lost concern for humans' in an astonishing attack by
its own co-founder,
Ecologist Dr Patrick Moore, who quit
Greenpeace in 1986, has launched a scathing criticism of the activist group
which he insisted has lost its humanitarian roots.
His attack on the organisation he help
create comes as former Environment Secretary Owen Paterson campaigns against
the 'self-serving' and 'highly-paid' network of environmental press groups he
calls the 'green blob'.
Dr Moore told BBC Radio 4's Today
Programme: 'My problem with Green peace is they have lost any humanitarian roots
they had.[2]
With an income of €84,898,000,
and offices in forty countries Greenpeace has more than a passing interest in
continuing the mania behind climate change. Greenpeace is just one business
built on the absurdity of preventing climate change.
Cores obtained during leg 42B of the
Deep Sea Drilling Project exhibit freshwater sedimentary environments of long
duration reaching back for more than three million years and only punctuated by
eight brief invasions of marine diatoms from the Mediterranean (Schrader 1979) The
marine phases universally correspond to high global sea level during warm
climates that produced wave-cut terraces now elevated on the Caucasus coast and
drowned soils in coastal outcrops around the Kerch and Tamanian peninsulas
(Arslanov et al- 1983).[3]
According to scientists, global warmings have been going on
for millennia. It should be obvious that human effort cannot change the
progress of nature. Facing climate change, one would think that evolutionists would
accept that the best course of action is adaptation. Why then the irrational
attempt to prevent nature from doing what it is bound to do? It seems clear
that advocates of climate change are in it for the money. Foolish governments
disadvantage their citizens only to be seen as politically correct. The
dramatization of catastrophic results of climate change may contain some truth,
but it is not man that has brought this about, it is nature. Genuine science
has evidence of repeated cooling and warming of the earth’s climate.
A team of MIT scientists recorded a
nearly simultaneous world-wide increase in methane levels -the first increase
in ten years. What baffles the team is that this data contradicts theories
stating humans are the primary source of increase in greenhouse gas. It takes
about one full year for gases generated in the highly industrial northern
hemisphere to cycle through and reach the southern hemisphere. Since all
worldwide levels rose simultaneously throughout the same year, however, it is
probable that this may be part of a natural cycle - and not the direct result
of man's contributions. ….
One thing does seem very clear,
however; science is only beginning to get a focus on the big picture of global
warming. Findings like these tell us it's too early to know for sure if man's
impact is affecting things at "alarming rates." We may simply be
going through another natural cycle of warmer and colder times - one that's
been observed through a scientific analysis of the Earth to be naturally
occurring for hundreds of thousands of years.[4]
Proponents of anthropomorphic climate change among other
things, blame industry and cattle for increased CO2. The study by
MIT demonstrates that CO2 increase is not due to human activity. It
has been established that warming and cooling of the climate is cyclical.
Global climate change is inevitable. Whether human activity increases warming
is a moot question; the climate is changing and there is nothing humans can do
to prevent it. Time and money should be diverted to mitigation of likely
catastrophic events rather than supporting useless activities of climate change
fanatics. According to historical and prehistorical information, sea levels
will rise with climate warming. Governments need to consider the likeliness of
future catastrophes and plan mitigation strategies. If the threats are real it
is absolutely criminal to ignore them by opting for current political
correctness.
I do not believe the evolutionary time table. I subscribe to
the creation of the universe in six days as recorded in Genesis. Scientists who
go along with the evolutionary theories will not be persuades by scriptural
evidence, and they ignore evidences from their own belief system. Believers
should not buy into the human causes of climate change, which is flim-flam, and
a financial enterprise. There is abundant evidence to indicate that the world
goes through cycles of warming and cooling. For those people who are so
arrogant as to presume they can change the path of nature, there is a warning
from antiquity –the tower of Babel. It seems that people at that time thought
they could accomplish anything, but, God put a stop to their conceited ambitions.
We can learn from Habakkuk who began his complaint
suggesting God was tardy and not involved.
O LORD, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not listen? Or cry
to you "Violence!" and you will not save? Why do you make me see
wrongdoing and look at trouble? Destruction and violence are before me; strife
and contention arise. So the law becomes slack and justice never prevails. The
wicked surround the righteous--therefore judgment comes forth perverted.[5]
Habakkuk didn’t care for God’s response; he again complained;
if God used the Chaldeans to punish Judah it would be that the wicked would swallow those more righteous than they.
God issued a reply, “Look at
the proud! Their spirit is not right in them, but the righteous live by their
faith. Moreover, wealth is treacherous; the arrogant do not endure…[6] The Lord outlined the misdeeds of the Chaldeans, lastly
focusing on their pagan idolatry. “What use is an idol once its maker has shaped it--a cast image, a
teacher of lies? For its maker trusts in what has been made, though the product
is only an idol that cannot speak! Alas for you who say to the wood, ‘Wake up!’ to silent stone, ‘Rouse yourself!’ Can it teach? See, it is gold and silver
plated, and there is no breath in it at all. But the LORD is in his holy
temple; let all the earth keep silence before him![7] Hearing
the plan of God to bring the Chaldeans to justice, awakened within Habakkuk
praise for the justice of God;
Though the fig tree does not blossom, and no fruit is on the vines;
though the produce of the olive fails, and the fields yield no food; though the
flock is cut off from the fold, and there is no herd in the stalls, yet I will
rejoice in the LORD; I will exult in the God of my salvation. GOD, the Lord, is
my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, and makes me tread upon
the heights.[8]
Environmentalism is a religious cause. A number of people
pushing the environmental agenda are pantheists. Believers should not be duped
into thinking that climate change is a godly cause –it isn’t. The climate
change program must not be confused with sensible stewardship. Greenpeace “has
been branded an 'evil organisation' which has 'lost concern for humans'…”[9]
other organizations of similar ilk must be included in the same classification.
Not caring for people goes against the teaching of Jesus; Jesus was known for
his love and concern. He wasn’t involved in causes, he was the living
representation of God. Our duty is to influence people to seek God, not chase
godless causes designed by unbelievers.
