You seem to be making arguments that are outside mainstream views. Scientific alarmism is what I'm addressing because that's what Greta's platform has always been based on, and she's addressing mainstream views about the issue.

Are there any scientific climate models which predict that this planet will be uninhabitable at some point? I think that the models and predictions hold that certain areas will be uninhabitable (such as coastlines) while other areas will suffer significant changes, such as severe storms.
Even if the worst predictions come to pass, such as massive extinctions, does that imply uninhabitability for humans?

I don't think "God will just take care of it" I think natural scientific and technological progress will. Electric cars, solar, nuclear and fusion power, etc. I also don't think that comments like yours are true.

Originally posted by Charles View PostNeither could you, seemingly, provide examples in which he is "dishonestly assigning them to broad categories of people, especially if those people are Christians". There is an instance of a rather broad claim in his pointing to the religious right and even in that case you have not done much to show how the statement is dishonest.
It would be up to Tassman to prove that this is actually a common notion among Christians.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

So your response is to just be another alarmist? Nice.
I don't think "God will just take care of it" I think natural scientific and technological progress will. Electric cars, solar, nuclear and fusion power, etc.
I also don't think that comments like yours are true.Last edited by oxmixmudd; 12-11-2019, 08:12 AM.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
