Climate Change is real!

 Okay, I don't know a whole lot about it (the science that is) but most people don't... and that's the point!   There are aspects of this argument that the average joe can't sit there and explain - UNLESS they're a climate scientist.  So in large part, we have to leave it to them to argue the points.  But there are certain facts that have been determined to explain the divide and the lack of trust behind just simply believing and going with opposing narratives within the debate.


#1 - It's of huge news that most of American simply just no longer trusts the media.

#2- Government isn't doing a really good job in the extremes between left and right.

And then there's the international push to implement big money decisions that will effect our economy and society if we just simply accommodate to everything they say and propose, etc.


We can see the bias.

And "AOC" (We all know who she is) really doesn't help anyone by screaming, "We're going to all die in 12 years"!   Nope!  Not helping.

She kinda might have needed to get most of American behind her before she can just think we're all going to follow her on that one.... but we don't sooo.


And then there's the THEOLOGY of things which as always, touches pretty much all aspects of life, truth, etc.    That's where The Bible comes in.

The Bible teaches that - 


"While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.”  - Genesis 8:22


It also teaches that - 


"And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. And the men marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?”

- Matthew Chapt. 8

 


We know that God has a plan that's laid out in scripture.   We understand that in the last days, it's prophesied that there will be changes in the seasons and great signs and wonders will happen with regard to earth but these things are meant as a sign of things to come.  


We believe the science is not just nebulous as to preventing these things but we're not really in consensus as to whether it's due to (in large part) human activity OR even what humans can do to stop it -- if and when it happens.   We understand that climate change ebbs and flows with time, that many scientists don't see much distinction in what is being seen now to record progressive continuity of extreme climate, and of coarse, the bias behind those who are pushing the dooms day scenarios don't exactly give us much confidence.

The larger supposed culprits of these global climate catastrophes due to world pollution aren't going to be imposed  to do anything about it.  In much cases, India and China (who is said to have too much influence in the global economic contributions) won't be participating half as much as the US is expected to.

On top of that, it's said that the cult-like frenzy of trying to fix the world by decreasing the consumption of fossil fuels in less developed nations will cause more damage, death and suffering.

So... From a Christian world view...this dooms day scenario is about giving in to too much power towards rich international elites who are doing too much preaching about the end of the world while there's too great a push to accept the narrative regardless of the imposition and livelihood of other more helpless nations and the power grab attempt to take over all facets of our societies.   And we don't like it.

Oh, and did I mention .. all from a secular world view?  Yep.  The international powers that seek to take full control of all facets of our raw materials needed for life, flourishing and human rights and freedoms are anti-God.    And that never helps.

Trust has always been an issue.

Ya gotta have it.




It's been said that "we're living in a disposable world".   God said He's got a plan and the world isn't going to end until HE says so.   So sure, there will be calamities and death and destruction, and an increase of it but it's not like humanity can stop the hand of God.  That's perhaps the silliest part of where the climate hysteria has taken people, and many are convinced somehow, we can.     But we've never been able to stop death or always be there to prevent it, or know when it'll strike.   And trying to will only hurt and inconvenience many others in our thinking we can play God -- which man often tries to do with a secular humanistic mindset.  

We should use the technology we now have honestly to help people without letting big money elites tag along with their crazy god-playing ideologies, and then perhaps people will have more trust and consensus to work together.  No, we can't just hand over the sovereignty of our nation by allowing a global elitist message of dooms day to literally change our economy, freedoms in society by handing over power to them.

Once again, It's an argument pertaining to word views.  

Those who trust in man, will perceive things in one way.

Those who trust in God will .... not trust in man.   


"It is better to take refuge in the LORD Than to trust in man." - Psalm 118:8
