climate change...

I remember in the 1970's CO2 was then said to be 0.03% (Argon 1%, Oxygen 21% and Nitrogen 78%). Today CO2 is at 0.04%.

 

The climate has always, & will always change. The whole climate change thing is just another trumped up method of control. If God wants to punish us, I don’t believe it would be through incremental picking at us. It will be swift, & we will recognize it instantly…….if we are believers.

 

There's no doubt it's changing where I live. I've mentioned it before on here too. I've growed warm-weather plants much longer than the old folks used to be able to. We have a longer growing season in general.

We're probably one of the few areas where most of us do still heat exclusively with wood here .

What are your qualifications to render such a judgement? Are you a trained climate expert? How do you explain the overwhelming majority of appropriately trained experts believe climate change is caused by human activity? Have they all overlooked your theory, presented above?

 

Yes, but you are far more vulnerable to this critique than I am. When you side with the tiny minority of experts who do not believe that climate change is man-made, you are effectively putting your eggs in that tiny basket - the overwhelming majority of trained experts believe climate change is caused by us.

The rational position is to believe them, not the tiny minority.

 

I remember reading of the Patent Office Chief in 1895(?) resigning and looking for a new job! His reasoning was, "Everything that can be invented, has been, so this office will soon cease to exist!"

 

Whether the warming climate is entirely human caused, mostly, slightly or not at all (IMO it's mostly) doesn't mean it's not God's will. He is sovereign and in carrying out His plan can choose miraculous intervention, or providential guidance thru human activity, for climate change or anything else. I suspect the great majority of secular climate experts would not attribute any climate effects to God's direction - directly or otherwise.

 

For those of us who have lived in the far North (Hokkaido), "global warming is a good thing!

 

I never have seen the problem with it getting warmer.

 

In the 70s and 80s they said a global freeze was coming. Now it’s warming. According to all Gore we should have all died by now.

it’s all a political agenda to make people do what they want. Nothing more

 

Which experts said this?

Not which newspaper said this, which experts said this?

 

I remember this. I was in college at the time. The fear-mongering was all over the news.

Then there were the population explosion experts who said that we would soon overpopulate the world and everyone would starve to death. Again, fear-mongering.

 

Indeed.

What experts - not newspapers - said the world was cooling?

 

Oh, a bunch of them. You expect me to remember names after 50 years? And even if I did, you wouldn't know them.

The point is, these scares come and go, but Christ is eternal. I was not afraid of global cooling or over-population then then, and I'm not afraid of global warming now. As the old "spiritual" says, "He's got the whole world in His hands...." Why then should I listen to fear mongering? (I do not say that is what you are doing.)
