“Climate models have many shortcomings and are not remotely plausible as policy tools. They… ignore the fact that enriching the atmosphere with CO2 is beneficial… There is no statistical evidence that global warming is intensifying hurricanes, floods, droughts and suchlike natural disasters, or making them more frequent.” — From the declaration, “There is no Climate Emergency,” signed by 1,609 scientists.

Why does an article such as this appear here? Because it is a clear sign of the times, of the last of the last days, and the lies and foolishness of man turned from God, turned from the Word of God.

I have written with frequency how changes that may occur with regard to climate are not the result of the internal combustion engine, plastic straws, cows, cheeseburgers, or anything blamed by blind, utterly darkened men and women.

Yes, there are changes taking place. And greater ones are to come. But none of them are going to be the result of drilling for fossil fuels, owning and cooking on a natural gas stove, or driving a vehicle with a gas-powered engine rather than an electric battery-powered one.

Wind turbines and EVs are not going to save the earth, and in reality, bring their own environmental destruction properties.

But the things made by man do not bring about the changes that will make men and women curse God and make life on earth unbearable and unlike any previous time in world history.

No, it is the INCREASING SIN, ESCALTING IMMORALITY, and the BLATANT TURNING FROM GOD, FROM JESUS, FROM THE HOLY BIBLE that brings about the changes evidenced. That is happening and will continue to happen.

As man vainly and foolishly attempts to remedy matters with drastic material changes the environment of the world will become less hospitable. The physical environment will not improve as planned, lied about, mandated, and preached about by those who are not only in darkness but are darkness. At enmity with the Lord.

Man, woman, and child’s sin and rebellion against God, denying Christ, perverting and corrupting the Word of God, tearing down the foundations that have existed for millennia and attempting to replace them — replace God the Creator, Jesus the only Saviour, and the Holy Bible, the only Book of absolute truth and reality, of history past, present, and future.

Everyone on earth could own an EV, never use a fossil fuel again, never eat another steak or cheeseburger, and have all their energy needs fulfilled by wind and solar — and those vain actions would not halt or remove what is, and what is to come.

Do not look externally, of the world for reasons and possible solutions. Whatever man does will only escalate what is to come. The fulfillment of every jot, tittle, and word within the Word.

Why won’t folks grab hold of a Holy Bible, open it, pray to the Lord for discernment, wisdom, and understanding of what they are to read, and then READ, STUDY, MEDITATE therein…and BELIEVE!?

Because they love the lies of Satan, the beguiling and seductive lies of the angel of light and the honey-dripping words, the illusions, and delusions put forth by his ministers.

Because people refuse to face reality and the truth.

Refuse to believe the Lord, the Word of God, and choose to live lives not of quiet desperation as the lost Transcendentalist, admirer of Charles Darwin, man influenced by pagan Indian spiritual thought, who compared John Brown’s hanging to the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ, environmentalist [pagan, earth worshipper], philosopher Henry David Thoreau — that so many idolize and worship, and is even required study in most high schools, colleges and universities.

No, “most men [and women do not] live lives of quiet desperation going to their grave with the song still in them,” as he is famously known for.

Most men and women go to their graves having never repented of their sin, being lifeless, dead, having never acknowledged God as Creator, Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour, Redeemer, Son of God, Friend, and only hope.

And it is this inherent darkness, this inherent evil in the hearts and minds of men, women, and yes, even children [born with the stamp of sin and rebellion against God within them from birth — do not believe this? Then why not read and believe God’s inerrant infallible living Word!?] that is destroying the natural world. Sin. Rebellion against God. Denying Christ. Refusing to take hold and believe and live according to the Word of God that is destroying the natural world while the spiritual realm is either ignored, denied, or solace and solution to the spiritual part of human life, the most important part of human life is ignored or time attempting to soothe and save and bring peace to the spirit and soul are misplaced and taken to every false and dead place.

Imagine that…

It isn’t about V-8 engines, cow belching, and flatulence, or plastic straws after all…

It’s all about only about the state and condition of the individual human heart, mind, and spirit to God, to Jesus, to the Holy Spirit, and to the living Word of God!

Yes, be good stewards of what the Good Lord has created and blessed us with. But do not make creation your God, do not worship creation and not the Creator. Do not foolishly and vainly, ignorantly imagine men and women, or children can save the earth. That the vain actions of man can somehow bring about the necessary restoration and revival allowing this known world to exist for millennia to come while ignoring, denying, and misplacing the most important of actions essential to save the individual spirit, the individual soul so it is not consumed and cast into the Lake of Fire for eternity experiencing the Second Death.

That’s why this article appears here. That, and the fact anything posted of a Biblical, spiritual nature, faith nature is ignored by those coming to this place in comparison to the political, the worldly, and what seems to be of most interest to folks.

Imagine that…

The ‘Climate Emergency’ Is a Hoax

 

 

More than 1,600 scientists, including two Nobel laureates, have signed a declaration saying that “There is no climate emergency.” The declaration is unlikely to get any attention from the mainstream media, unfortunately, but it is important for people to know about: the mass climate hysteria and the destruction of the U.S. economy in the name of climate change need to stop.

“Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific,” states the declaration signed by the 1,609 scientists, including Nobel laureates John F. Clauser from the U.S. and Ivar Giaever from Norway/U.S.

The statement adds:

“Scientists should openly address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of their policy measures…

“The geological archive reveals that Earth’s climate has varied as long as the planet has existed, with natural cold and warm phases. The Little Ice Age ended as recently as 1850. Therefore, it is no surprise that we now are experiencing a period of warming.

“Warming is far slower than predicted…

“The gap between the real world and the modeled world tells us that we are far from understanding climate change.

“Climate policy relies on inadequate models
Climate models have many shortcomings and are not remotely plausible as policy tools. They do not only exaggerate the effect of greenhouse gases, they also ignore the fact that enriching the atmosphere with CO2 is beneficial…

“Global warming has not increased natural disasters
There is no statistical evidence that global warming is intensifying hurricanes, floods, droughts and suchlike natural disasters, or making them more frequent. However, there is ample evidence that CO2 mitigation measures are as damag­ing as they are costly.

“Climate policy must respect scientific and economic realities
There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no cause for panic and alarm. We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2 policy proposed for 2050. Go for adaptation instead of mitigation; adaptation works whatever the causes are.”

Professor Steven Koonin, former Undersecretary for Science at the U.S. Department of Energy under the Obama administration, current professor at New York University, and fellow at the Hoover Institution, authored the 2021 bestseller, Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn’t, and Why It Matters. In it, he states that what the largely unreadable (for laymen) and complicated science reports say on climate change is completely distorted by the time their contents are filtered through a long line of summary reports of the research by the media and the politicians.

“There are abundant opportunities to get things wrong – both accidentally and on purpose – as the information goes through filter after filter to be packaged for various audiences… It’s not only the public that is ill-informed about what the science says about climate…”

Koonin adds:

“Government and U.N. press releases and summaries do not accurately reflect the reports themselves… Distinguished climate experts (including report authors themselves) are embarrassed by some media portrayals of the science.”

In a recent interview, Koonin noted that his colleagues’ reactions to his book had been that he should not be telling the public or the politicians the truth about climate change.

“I was taught that you tell the whole truth [as a scientist]. And you let the politicians make the value judgments and the cost effectiveness trade-offs and so on,” Koonin said. He noted as well the immorality of asking the developing world to cut down emissions when so many do not even have access to electricity, and the immorality of scaring the younger generations: 84% of American teenagers believing, as of January 2022, that if climate change is not addressed, “it will be too late for future generations, making some part of the planet unlivable.”

Of course it would be helpful to research what can be done to relieve the problems brought about by man, such as the “hole in the ozone layer,” which is now closing, but climate change is not an apocalyptic emergency and needs to be attended to without bringing devastation to the hundreds of millions of people already in extreme poverty.

The Biden administration, however, appears not to be concerned about the widespread poverty and massive starvation that will be caused by the unavailability of cheap and reliable energy in underdeveloped countries, or the inflation caused by the skyrocketing prices that are crushing Americans “barely able to afford one meal a day”.

These are man-made problems, created by importing expensive (nearing $100 a barrel again) — often dirtier — oil from adversaries of the United States, such as Russia and Venezuela, instead of extracting it far less expensively at home. The Biden administration also does not seem concerned that so long as China and India keep burning coal – the Chinese Communist Party is permitting two new coal-power plants a week, easily cancelling out whatever benefits the US might be providing, and reportedly exceeding “all developed nations combined” in carbon emissions.

The Biden administration also does not seem concerned that it is killing wildlifesea life and the fishing industry by installing offshore wind turbines along the Atlantic seaboard, or that mandating electric vehicles will throw virtually the entire auto maintenance industry out of work (EVs do not need routine maintenance), or that lithium batteries not only explode but cost thousands of dollars to replace. The administration even wants military equipment, such as tanks, to be electric, as if there were charging stations in the middle of foreign deserts in the event of a conflict. Moreover, according to NBC News, volcanoes, unimpressed with executive orders, “Dwarf Humans for CO2 Emissions.”

The Biden administration does not even bother to act on its own climate findings: In March, the White House released a report about the impact of climate change on the U.S. economy. “Its findings undermine any claims of an ongoing climate crisis or imminent catastrophe” Koonin wrote in July.

“The report’s authors should be commended for honestly delivering likely unwelcome messages, even if they didn’t make a show of it. The rest of the Biden administration and its climate-activist allies should moderate their apocalyptic rhetoric and cancel the climate crisis accordingly. Exaggerating the magnitude, urgency and certainty of the climate threat encourages ill-considered policies that could be more disruptive and expensive than any change in the climate itself.”

But facts will not stop the Biden administration from forging ahead with its radical policies: “I don’t think anybody can deny the impact of the climate crisis anymore,” Biden, commenting on Hurricane Idalia, told reporters at the White House on August 30. “Just look around. Historic floods. I mean, historic floods. More intense droughts, extreme heat, significant wildfires have caused significant damage.”

Never mind that much of climate change is apparently caused by sun flares, about which we can do nothing, and which, unlike commercial industries, do not offer grants; or that major wildfires are, ironically, exacerbated by “environmentalists” for refusing to let tinderbox brush be cleared lest the creatures there be disturbed other than by a wildfire.

Climate expert Bjørn Lomborg suggests that the trillions of dollars needed to address climate change might be put to better use:

“This isn’t an argument to do nothing but just to be smarter. To ensure we can transition from fossil fuels, we need to ramp up research and development to innovate down the price of green energy. We should invest across all options including fusion, fission, storage, biofuel and other sources.

“Only when green energy is cheaper than fossil fuels will the world be able and willing to make the transition. Otherwise, today’s energy prices are just a taste of things to come.”
