Hi ,
We've all heard the term by now ~ "Climate Denier". Climate denier? On the face of
it, it's rather funny.....like, "I deny that there's such a thing as climate!"
However, it's a term that is now used to label those who don't buy into the idea of "man-made global warming". If you don't believe that the earth is rapidly warming up due to the irresponsibility of mankind (especially Americans), you're a "climate denier". It's a little akin
to being labeled a "science denier" if you believe in creation.
So, is the earth warming up? Possibly. Is the climate changing? Probably. Is mankind to blame? No.....and, yes. Let me explain...
First, it's important to realize that the earth is constantly
changing. Weather patterns have always been cyclical. So, yes....the climate is changing. Few would "deny" that. However, we can neither cause it nor change it - at least, nowhere near what is claimed.
Is it warming up? Nobody really knows, but if it is, it's happening very slowly and has much more to do with the world-wide damage caused by the global
flood. This damage goes beyond climate change and includes issues like earthquakes and volcanic activity.
Is man causing it? Not directly. There's not much that we can do to influence this magnitude of change. However, the Bible teaches us that the global flood was indeed brought about by man's sin, so in a way, we are causing it, if indeed it's
happening at all.
So, enjoy your car, your air conditioning, and your camp fires! Leave the worry about global warming to the "truth deniers".
