The Climate Scare: Ever More Shrill, Ever Less Serious
Collapse

Nothing like an artificially manufactured crisis in order to rally the ignorant around a cause whose bottom line is a tax grab. Of the greenhouse gasses which comprise only 2% if the earth's atmosphere, only 3.62% are carbon dioxide, and of this, the man-made component is only 3.4%. Nothing to lose sleep over.
In addition, sunspot activity has been historically linked to changes in the earth's temperature, where high activity corresponded to a warmer climate. We are now entering a period of low sunspot activity, similar to that of the "Little Ice Age" in the 1650s. If anything, we seem to be headed into a colder cycle. Wasting resources and money in an attempt to modify the earth's climate is an exercise in futility (especially since the main contributors of carbon emissions like China and India are not inclined to participate).
The Lord has set up checks and balances so that the earth's climate alternates between highs and lows, and we have God's promise that our seasons will continue until the new heavens and earth are created (Gen. 8:22).

Did he really not notice that the mean line from which he gets ".25" degree is NOT relative to the mean for the late 1800's but rather the mean for the period 1979 to 2019?, which if the rising trend was only .25 for that entire period (which it is clearly NOT - it is greater) the same linear trend for 139 years would match up to a .87 degree C rise?
JimMy brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

Sure He can. The amilennial position is that things will figuratively go to hell in a handbasket, THEN He'll deliver on His promise.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio
