The core samples indicate that the earth has been both much hotter and
much colder in the past than it has been for the last 6,000 years. There
are cycles of very cold and very hot. We are entering a hot cycle.
Burning fossil fuels adds to the problem. However, burning fossil fuels
is to global warming as a good **** is to the ocean.

If you want to save the World, turn your efforts towards determining how
the World can survive the extreme heat that is inevitable.

God and global warming
St. Petersburg Times ^ | September 15, 2005

Science and religion may differ on how we got here, but increasingly
there
is little disagreement on where we are headed if we don't begin to
address
the causes of climate change. Scientists have long warned of the dangers
of
global warming attributed to our profligate use of fossil fuels. Now, one
of
the nation's most influential religious groups is delivering the same
message, if based on an alternative standard of proof.

"I had a conversion experience on the climate issue not unlike my
conversion
to Christ," Richard Cizik, vice president for governmental affairs at the
National Association of Evangelicals, told the environmental magazine
Grist.
"I was at a conference in Oxford where Sir John Houghton, an evangelical
scientist, was presenting evidence of shrinking ice caps, temperatures
tracked for millennia through ice-core data, increasing hurricane
intensity,
drought patterns, and so on. I realized all at once, with sudden awe,
that
climate change is a phenomenon of truly biblical proportions."

The 30-million-member association, which Cizik says is one of the
strongest
voices in the Republican Party, isn't just talking about global warming.
It
is taking action. Calling the doctrine "creation care," the association
is
conducting a scripture-based campaign to convince its members that they
are
"commissioned by God the Almighty to be stewards of the earth."

Cizik doesn't rule out formal collaboration with secular environmental
groups such as the Sierra Club. And the association is preparing a
position
paper on global warming policy.

For his part, Cizik is practicing what he preaches. "We sold our RV,
which
got about five miles per gallon, and bought a Prius, which gets about 10
times that," he told Grist. "I oughta get a commission from Toyota for
the
number of people I've converted to the Prius."

Soon, there will be no haven for those who continue to ignore the
environmental challenges ahead.

Amen!
