<b><font color="0000ff">About time Al Gore's priorities take a back seat to our immediate needs, eh???</font></b> <BR> <BR>It is hard to imagine that global warming is occuring. We have so much cold weather and so much snow. Yet, if the earth really is in danger of losing its basic life-giving properties, it would be foolish not to give it top priority. <BR><font color="ffffff"><font size="-2">.</font></font>

Most scientists are agreed on, that during the global warming, extremes in the fringes of climate are becoming more frequent (winds, rains, droughts, heat wawes and cold wawes). <BR> <BR>And storms are becoming more violent. <BR> <BR>Just now one million households in France are without electricity. Due to 170 km/h winds...

I hope scientists will some day - before it is not too late - find a way to compartmentalize the globe and its climate. <BR> <BR>In one part would live those who do not believe in any manmade change in climate. They would continue living according to their faith and bear the consequences, if any. <BR> <BR>In the other part were living those who believe in humanity's part of climatical change and try to do something in order to slow down the warming happening at any rate, and reaping the benefits of their efforts, if any. <BR> <BR>At least it would be fair IMHO.

Don, my take on those hung up on Global Warming is they do not believe God is sovereign and in control and man can cause things God will not allow. God has an end game and I don't think it is Al Gore's ideas, IMO. <BR> <BR>If you look at 100 years of data or trends in climate and temperature versus 2000 years, you can become an alarmist. But right now the scientists are beginning to realize they have been had by the likes of Al Gore and other alarmists. <BR> <BR><b><font color="0000ff">Garbage in, garbage out: More bad warming data <BR>Another temperature-monitor station riddled with problems, says meteorologist <BR></font></b> <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=56875" target=_top>http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=5 6875</a> <BR> <BR>Did you see where the jet engine nozzle was in relation to the Temperature monitor???? <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.petitionproject.org/" target=_top>http://www.petitionproject.org/</a> <BR> <BR>God's end plan does involve Global Warming, but hopefully we all will "rise above" it with His help. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by Bob_2 on January 24, 2009)

"Most of the "green" stuff is verging on a gigantic scam" - James Lovelock <BR> <BR>James Lovelock is a British chemist, inventor and environmentalist. He is best known for formulating the controversial Gaia hypothesis in the 1970s, which states that organisms interact with and regulate Earth's surface and atmosphere. Later this year he will travel to space as Richard Branson's guest aboard Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo. His latest book, The Vanishing Face of Gaia, is published by Basic Books in February. <BR> <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20126921.500-one-last-chance-to-save-mankind.html?full=true&print=true" target=_top>http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20126921.500 -one-last-chance-to-save-mankind.html?full=true&pr int=true</a> <BR> <BR>Check out this guy's idea to save us from "Global Warming": <BR> <BR><blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1><b>quote:</b></font><p>... <BR> <BR>There is one way we could save ourselves and that is through the massive burial of charcoal. It would mean farmers turning all their agricultural waste - which contains carbon that the plants have spent the summer sequestering - into non-biodegradable charcoal, and burying it in the soil. Then you can start shifting really hefty quantities of carbon out of the system and pull the CO2 down quite fast. <BR> <BR>...<!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote>

The Bible plainly teaches a supernatural intervention in the end. Our belief in God's end time solution should not deter us from our concern for the environment. In the early twentieth century premillenialists were criticized by progressives in society for losing interest in reforming society since Jesus was coming back to fix everything. I think their criticism had (has) some validity. <BR><font color="ffffff"><font size="-2">.</font></font>

The "green stuff" is charging a person that abuses the environment so they can do it with immunity, pay for their disgression. To suggest that everyone that believes God is sovereign is careless with the environment is naive and false. To ask for an "indulgence" as the Catholics would grant for a bad act, is what the "green stuff" is that is being spoken of. It is a scam just like the Catholic indulgences. <BR> <BR>The normal fluctuations of the environment, that 31,000 scientists believe is what is happenning with the climate, is a significant observation, not a granting of misuse of the environment but not silly ways Al Gore has suggested to buy your ability to use a private plane that may harm the environment to sooth a conscience. Money does not solve all!!!! Financial resource these days have to be prioritized, if you haven't noticed. Maybe the financicial crisis hasn't hit Canada yet. <img src="http://www.atomorrow.net/discus/clipart/uhoh.gif" border=0>

Bob 2 <BR> <BR>Do you actually read New Scientist regularly, every issue? <BR> <BR>Namely, if you did, you would know that the general tenor of that magazine has for years been that humanity's impact on climate is a factor to be reckoned with. <BR> <BR>That is spite of the natural cycles, which are undeniable.

Acid rain, was definitely a man made cause and effect, but El Nino is something bigger than you and I and scientists have been talking about the cooling of the Pacific for some time. Can you stop it, can Don, can I. <BR> <BR>We can be responsible with the environment, but God is in control and he has the power. When our banks and financial institutions are imploding, for us to be off chasing "Moonshadows" is irresponsible use of our limited resources, IMO.
