| Heat levels rising, desertification, does it mean global warming is real? is global warming really a hoax? |
It
is true over a few past centuries there has been an increase trend in
temperature levels suggesting a heat apocalypse thus the global warming
concept.
But,
there some years within the same period where there was a trend in cooling
temperature suggesting a new ice age thus, the global cooling concept.
This
uncertainties however, caused scientists to come up with a new term climate
change.
But
isn’t climate really changing? Sure it is
Will
the earth be destroyed by climate change then? From a Christian perspective,
the earth must ultimately come to an end at some point but the end will be
brought by God Himself not Climate change, nor ice age, nor disease epidemic,
nor world war III or Z, nor some scary Nuclear War.
Then this climate thing is a hoax.
Right? Ah!! Yes and no.
The
concept has been adopted by different people with different motives and
insights (Some actually believe and know it a thing based on science, others
are in it for financial gains, and others are in it for religious beliefs).
Climate change is real and its effects could actually be very catastrophic but,
it will definitely not utterly bring the world to an end.
What is a Christian’s take on
climate change?
FACT. Science
and research have with no doubt proven that nature and human action bring upon
some sort of destruction to the earth (including the climate) and, the Bible
agrees as seen in a bit;
Both
the Bible and science reveal that man is by nature destructive (Job 5:7) and
his destructive nature needs to be controlled and corrected.
The
possibility of man destroying the earth; The nations raged, but your wrath has
come, and the time for judging the dead, for rewarding your servants, the
prophets and saints and all who fear your name, both small and great, and for
destroying those who destroy the earth.” (Rev...)
Luke
11:17; As Christians, we should be concerned about our effect on our
environment. God appointed man to be the steward of this world (Genesis 1:28),
not the destroyer of it.
Bottom line
Although
man will not ultimately end the existence of the earth, he could and is still
destroying it with his choices and action.
Climate
change may or may not be real, and may or may not be human-caused, but is
excessive carbon emission dangerous? Sure it is, are we depleting natural
resources, sure we are.
As
a true Christian therefore, remember the golden rule, to do unto others what
you would want them do to you, and that he (man) is a steward on earth as the
caretaker thus, he ought to care for it not destroy.
Reckless
and greedy actions of man will not end life on earth but will destroy it and
make it a living hell.
