Global Warming

Al Gore is a man of some stature. He was a U.S. senator and a vice president. Lately he has promoted global warming. Mr. Gore is a wealthy man that uses 20 times as much energy as the average family. He flies by private jet and drives SUVs, all of this while lecturing to the rest of us to conserve.

Having fallen off the radar screen, Mr. Gore needed something to get attention and face time on TV. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007. Since global warming didn't promote peace, we must assume that the leftist Bush hating Nobel committee awarded the prize to Al Gore as an insult to President Bush, just as they did in the award to Jimmy Carter. They admitted Carter's award was political, but in Gore's case denied that it was political without being accused. Yassar Arafat won the Nobel Peace Prize. The one thing that applies to all three of these men is that they didn't "make peace." They all bad-mouthed the United States and President Bush in foreign countries.

It is understandable that Mr. Gore, looking for a cause to use to justify his existence, despite overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary, has adopted global warming as "holy-Writ and says that manmade, catastrophic global warming is the gravest threat to the planet.

What is not understandable is why people who claim to believe in the Bible would believe such rubbish. Some evangelical Christians are caught up in the notion that government and international action are the proper methods to fight this phantom threat.

What does that mean? It means God controls the world's temperature, not man. God controls the climate, the earth's eco-system and our environment, not man.

It is contemptuous to think man is in control of the destiny of the planet God created for us.

Man's ego causes him to believe he controls the destiny of God's creation. It is disgraceful when those who claim to believe His Word preach a false gospel of global warming that directly contradicts the entire body of scripture.
