Anyone who thinks that there is anything man can do to destroy something God created has acquired the height of egotism.

There is nothing wrong with being environmentally conscious and stewarding what God has entrusted us with.
But this global push of radical environmental idealism is worse than a joke on many levels. It has become an ideological fortress based on lies and altered science, captivating the minds of many while the purveyors rake in the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Well if you put it that way then what's the problem? Religion has been doing that for millennia and you don't seem to have a problem with them.

I dont really know what group is what. Mainly I judge the merits of each action that I hear about.

Generally Im pro activism for the health of our environment.

Cannot destroy? You think the scores of
species now extinct at man's hand are not destroyed?

The real movement to help the environment should be each and everyone of us, we need to use our heads before buying things we no not need, over-consuming is polluting the planet. We have to stop using pesticides on our lawns, using dreadful chemicals to clean the house ect.. we all have a responsibility, every little action counts.

However the real polluters are the big industry, it is NOT the CO2 from our cars ( minimal effect on the climate if any at all) if you remove the CO2 from the atmosphere we are all dead within a few years, people forget that plants need CO2 to make more cells, all organic molecules except a few like water require carbon from the CO2. If CO2 should fall below 180 PPM plant growth stops or is severely limited.

Many people try to do the right thing by buying electric cars not realizing that( depending on where you live) requires Coal to generate electricity. so no reduction in carbon emission, the lithium batteries however toll greatly pollute the environment at one point when all these batteries expires, just watch this in a few years it will be an environmental catastrophe.

In any case the bottom line is money. As long as there is money to be made, pollution will continue, the world governments do these bogus meeting like the cop 15 but it means nothing as nothing will be donne, ill stop there because it makes me angry to write this. the people who pollute the earth will pay the price GOD will not leave these actors of the hook.

Blessing

How did plants get their CO2 before the invention of the automobile?

Volcanoes produce a LOT of CO2, forest fires also! respiration by mammals do produce some co2 also. Plants also produce some CO2 as well as O2 but less than what they consume, decomposing vegetation and organic matter also produce CO2. the oceans are also excellent CO2 sinks but can also release it under temperature change. the earth is a closed system that regulates itself. The seas can easily absorb extra CO2. In the seas, CO2 form carbonates that sink to the ocean bottom over time. all plants, forests are also excellent CO2 sinks, the more co2, the more they grow and absorb more...it is a complex but well regulated system.

Not many people know about the relative green gas index of CO2 and the other gas, CO2 has one of the lowest with a value of 1, water for instance has a green gas index of 300. gas used in refrigeration units such as refrigerators and HVAC units have an index of about 30000... CO2 is not the problem.

Now what about climate change, the sun cycles do influence greatly the climate, what I think now if the main factor is climate engineering and cloud seeding, more water in the atmosphere ( index 300 x more than co2) might be the problem.

Cheers

This is why the presence of so many Christians in American politics scares me a lot.

Do you know anyone at all, 'Christian' or otherwise, in politics who is actually doing good, truly doing anything right and helpful ?
I agree there might be someone, though rarely. Just wondering if you know any one of them at all ?

I'm not going to waste my time trying to convince someone who thinks that CO2 comes either from cars or volcanoes.

So God didn't flood the Earth because humans were screwing up?

Why bother if "destroy something God created has acquired the height of egotism"?

Knowing a climate scientist I'm taking his word over yours.

I'm trying not to presume .... care to explain
It’s basically saying that because God is in charge there is nothing we can do. Or worse; it’s the End Times some people seem unable to wait for which should not be stopped.

Any time someone looks to the supernatural to deal with actual problems is dangerous.
