Global Warming Update
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! |

Global Warming Update
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. "Bob Crantz" wrote in message nk.net...

The earth is only 6,000 years old.
If anything is dated older than that, it's faulty science. I suggest you read: http://www.christiananswers.net/q-aig/aig-c012.html Amen! "jlrogers" wrote in message . ..

John Cairns So God gave Adam and Eve all of 18 days to get a feel for paradise. And then, He who loves us so much, and who designed us to be sinners and mistake makers, and who then placed us directly in the path of temptation, booted the first of our kind into a world of pain, misery, and death just to teach us the lesson that all new employees need at least a 3 week probation period. What a great and glorious God! Amen! Scout |

I disagree. This present heat spell is not the long term trend.
I predict a cooling trend and a new ice age. When the glacier start advancing, remember you heard it from me first.

Currently the glaciers are retreating at an alarming pace, and huge pieces
of Antartica are breaking off much more frequently than in the recent past. However, this will probably reverse when we get to the tipping point. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Bart Senior" .@. wrote in message ... I disagree.
