It's official - 2023 is Already World's Hottest Year, with a month to go

If theres more evaporation, thus more cloud cover,
and more snowfall- isnt it assuming a bit much that its temporary?

The Polar Vortex forms in Autumn of each year and lasts for a few months. Fluctuations in the Vortex are caused by higher than normal temperatures at lower latitudes. These temperature variations can cause the Vortex to wobble allowing a mass of cold air to slip southward in turn creating more intense winter weather. These wobbles are temporary (a few days).

I'm not sure what you mean by evaporation in this context. Warmer air is more capable of holding water. As a result rainstorms can be more intense causing flooding. Evaporation is not a significant factor driving a Polar Vortex wobble and snow will still, eventually melt and run off as water like normal.

To be perfectly honest, the resolution in those videos isn't very good. I looked at Saturn once though a more powerful telescope owned by my pastor, and it looked like the pictures I've seen.

A Nikon cool pix camera, is not much worse than this telescope located in an area specifically chosen for viewing. Feel free to post what you are seeing as i have done. Because all i have seen are examples like this youtube video and none of which come close to images to the photo of jupiter i posted.

It's a fallen world. But God is still ultimately in charge.

So a saying goes.
I prefer not to just say things.

Is that because you don't know Who's in charge? or because you don't care Who's in charge?

It's a fallen world. But God is still ultimately in charge.

So would you say that in the caretaking of the Earth, we should take steps to destroy the Earth, or would it be more prudent for the caretakers to act in a way that does the least harm to the Earth?

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

So you disagree with my post or agree with it? Should we as human beings be the exploiters of the Earth or the protectors of it?

Of the two choices, we should be protecting the earth.

But keep in mind that the destruction of this planet is God's job, and He is going to do it.

In the meantime, let's not get so Earthly minded that we're no Heavenly good.

How can we be too focused on taking care of the Earth? Is it better that we trash the Earth we were chosen to take care of it because we find it inconvenient? In the "destruction of the planet are humans meant to be the tool that God uses to destroy it?

I think history bears the obvious answer to that.

Especially in the area of disdain for those who are neutral.

You seem to have an either/or mentality.

Can't most of us just be "innocent bystanders"?

You know, busy with other things (like missions), and letting others do their thing?

In the "destruction of the planet are humans meant to be the tool that God uses to destroy it?

Well ...

Revelation 16:1 ¶ And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8 ¶ And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
12 ¶ And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
17 ¶ And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

... no.
