Is C*****e C****e the End of the World?
F. LaGard Smith

In the midst of a recent two-day “heatwave” in Britain, Prince Charles, a long-time environmental campaigner, was almost giddy about how right he had been to issue warnings for over fifty years. “As I have tried to indicate for quite some time, the climate crisis really is a genuine emergency, and tackling it is utterly essential.” BBC’s weather bulletins during the same “heatwave” reported not just the objective fact of the unusual 100-degree temperatures, but invariably (and always in a preachy tone) the “obvious cause”: c*****e c****e.

One doesn’t have to be a “climate denier” to note some inconvenient history. In the summer of 1911 (long before today’s “carbon footprints”), Britain endured a genuine heatwave with temperatures reaching 98 degrees, lasting…two months! In the States, a corresponding “sun siege” was even worse, but the UK’s historic w*****r p*****ns provide a more telling model.

If one traces back to the year 1000, there were sun-kissed vineyards all over southern England, meaning that, along with increased carbon usage came…cooling! Conversely, roll history back even further and one must ask: If f****l f**ls are the cause of today’s rising temperatures, what explains the epic warming ending the Ice Age?

One would be daft to deny that there are global changes in climate, causing a rise in ocean temperatures, with consequent effects on coastal erosion, rain patterns, and even wildfires. Yet, the question of cause and effect remains. To what extent is today’s c*****e c****e caused by human activity, and to what extent does c*****e c****e simply reflect cyclical periods in Nature? The answer is the difference between responsible climate actions we can all embrace and radical environmentalism, having all the hallmarks of a religion…except for anything supernatural.

This is not a matter of science versus faith, but one faith versus another faith. Christian faith believes in a God who created this wondrous planet as a felicitous way-station for humanity on the path to a glorious life beyond. And the problem of sin, causing souls to be eternally lost unless saved by grace through obedient faith. And the coming of Christ to give his life so that we might live eternally. And his Second Coming, at which time (and not a minute before!) “the very elements will be destroyed by fire” (2 Peter 3:10)—not caused by g****l w*****g!

By contrast, the ideology of radical environmentalism typically believes that random natural forces, not God, brought this planet into existence; that a brief life on this planet is all there is; and that what needs saving is not lost souls but the planet. This naturalistic, faux religion—complete with its doom-and-gloom prophets and authoritative, bureaucratic priests—sees c*****e c****e as the looming Apocalypse, with salvation depending on (who else?) ourselves!

Given these two competing “faiths,” the radical change in culture’s religious climate is the c*****e c****e we should find most concerning. It’s no surprise that a younger generation weaned on a naturalistic explanation of life’s origins is rapidly moving away from godly faith to faith in environmentalism. Yet, worshiping Mother Earth rather than Father God prompts a familiar question with a slight twist: What will it profit a man if he saves the planet, but forfeits his own soul? Given life’s brevity, this is the true emergency. And tackling it before the Apocalypse of death overtakes each one of us is utterly and absolutely essential.

This has been my argument forever. If you go back in history you can find instances of G****l W*****g, C*****e C****e, heat waves, cold spells, droughts, floods, storms, etc. and all before Liberals invented g****l W*****g.

And it's very clear history, ignored by the alarmists.

Actually, Christ’s second coming is 1000 years before the meltdown.

I said this a thousands times. When g****l W*****g first reared it's ugly head, I did not believe it. When I was a child I read a book by a raging environmental liberal named Rachael Carson called the Sea Around Us. It described the various temperature cycles governed by ocean currents. She said there were 700 year cycles of warming and cooling, which explained the Medieval Warming Period of the Viking Age, which was followed by the Little Ice Age circa 1400 AD.

I later read about ancient civilizations going back to the Babylonians and ancient Egyptians, rising and falling as the w*****r p*****ns shifted. There is nothing happening today that is special, and there certainly is nothing we are going to do about it. If Mother Nature decides she is going to snuff us out, all of the silly Solar Panels and toy windmills will not change her mind.

Doesn’t this fly straight into the face of the next coming of Jesus, or wh**ever they’re calling today .The end times , Armageddon, the fleecing , the gleaming. , the rapture .
Science ???
Really ???
Is evolution a natural reality ?

Who brought all of the carbon that was buried for so long onto this side of the dirt.
It’s all about carbon that was trapped underground has been let out of the bottle , and now we are unable to get it back into the ground.
But we continue to bring out more and more instead of trying to do something different.

God (or Mother Nature if you prefer) gave us carbon because it is so very VERY useful. If you are worried about too much of it, simply find something useful to do with it. If you follow science, it is the basis of life. Maybe we should build some solar/wind driven catapults and start lobbing any excess carbon to the moon in the form of 1/3/9 proportioned monoliths. In a few million years, Luna will be a paradise.

I love these ignorant souls who fret over things they know nothing about, talking about it out of their a$$es, sounding stupid and i***tic.
