    Seriously, as a Christian you believe we, as a species, can die off? The entire notion runs counter to what scripture says. Christians who know their Bible know better than this.

    This type of alarmism is not grounded in truth and not even rational.

    I believe we might create an environment where the vast majority of humans would die throwing civilization back to an agrarian society and having very difficult times surviving. Note, I did not say that all humans would die, just a vast majority. I do not see it as alarmist, but as a real possibility. It will be after your and I are gone. But your great-great grandchildren may curse our generation for the problems we created for them. That, to me, is even a more distinct possibility.

    What say you?

    I say my great great grandchildren are more likely to be moved to small crowded Big Brother "smart cities" and "carbon taxed" to death long before climate change kills them.

    This scary climate stuff is just another money and power grab scheme brought to you by the people who would love to bring you global government aka the same people pushing Agenda 21 "sustainability" and the TTP and other forms of global corporate control.

    How does one measure the global temperature?

    How is that even possible?

    The only way that would be possible is if you had data of the temperature of every location, for every minute of the year,and then took all that temperature and averaged it, and even then that's still shady.

    Let me give an example, I am sitting in the basement of the house I am in right now, and it's a few degrees colder than upstairs, now I could have a thermometer down here and take the temperature, and I could also take the temperature from upstairs, and then add them together and divide them by two, and I might THINK I have found the temperature of the whole house, but that won't work, because there might be another room that's a few degrees colder, and then there might be some other rooms that are even hotter than the reading from the upstairs thermostat.. the point is, the earth is so big... even if you took the temperature of every major city, it still wouldn't give you the data you need to accurately predict the "Global Temperature". It would take insane amounts of data to get anywhere close to a global temperature, not to mention we can't measure much temperature under the crust of the earth, there are so many places where we do not have the data for temperature, and we don't have the capabilities to know how heat is being spread and distributed..

    Let me sum this up, I think anyone who thinks they can measure global temperature is full of baloney.

    Wait, you did in fact suggest that the entire "species" might die off when you said:


    I say that is an irrational fear especially when we are Christians and we already know better.

    Chicken Little would be fine if she just read the end of THE BOOK!
