So we should just stay in bed and let God handle everything?
Or are there some things it is okay for us to handle and other things which we shouldn't handle?
Or is that whole post just an excuse to pretend Global Warming isn't an issue?
Mainly, global warming, with massive emissions from all developed nations (some more than others, like the U.S. and China) began, and continues to be in much of the world (such as less developed nations, and even China), a "tragedy of the commons".
No one seems to own the atmosphere or the oceans, and at first, a society doesn't generally think to try to take care of them. Not even today, largely.
It's initially hard for a society to focus itself on long-term trends that seem to possibly affect some unknown others somewhere else maybe, but not our own home. It takes time for awareness to dawn.
How much worse then when after a problem becomes clear, for any group to ideologically oppose it (and be sure that opposition to controlling carbon emissions has zero to do with Christianity, but is instead about mere selfishness).
But we expect "Christians" to be following a higher standard, don't we?
That's why it's so ugly when they act like merely any other group of selfish people.
That's why a sex abuse scandal, bad anywhere, is even worse in appearance when it happens in some church.
That's why denying the reality of CO2 effects on climate, bad from anyone, seems even worse when it happens in some church.
