the problem is not climate change
I am not sure why you say what's in the quote above.
Scripture doesn't have to cover everything in order to say something about matters that we can see around us today. Scripture doesn't have to predict the specifics of our age in order to say something useful for us in this age. I gave a quote from Revelation 11:18. It isn't specifically about climate change and it may not be about things happening today but it does indicate that God intends to judge the world and he will "bring to ruin those ruining the Earth". What that implies about climate change is anybody's guess but it does appear to point to God's intention to condemn those who destroy (corrupt if you like or ruin if you prefer) the Earth. There are other passages that appear to imply that treating the world in which we live with care and respect is a good thing and that laying waste to it is not good.
Trophy hunting, hunting and fishing in general is the only thing that has been successful in keeping wildlife populations abundant and healthy. The environmentalist model has been pretty much a failure.the problem is not climate change but trophy hunting and littering. fix those and the earth will be fine.
Two things I know for a fact. Contrary to those who think the end time prophecies are talking about the end of the world as we know it. They are not. The prophesied the end of specific ages and nations. Over 100 chapters of ignored Bible prophecy talk about the world becoming better and better due to the influence of Gods invisible government. Which would also include environmentally better.People are worried about climate change and rising oceans. The ice caps are melting. Summers are hotter. Storms are stronger. Do the scriptures give any indication of why this is so? Is there anything people can do about it?
(Revelation of John 11:18) The nations raged,
but your wrath came,
and the time for the dead to be judged,
and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints,
and those who fear your name,
both small and great,
and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.
Stop extracting crude oil.We should but how?
This is a very polarizing topic. There are several topics, as of late, that are dividing the brothers and sisters on this forum. I am in that group and have strong opinions on several of the subjects that I am talking about here.People are worried about climate change and rising oceans. The ice caps are melting.

Simple to say.. but... just think of all the necessities of today that are dependent on it..Stop extracting crude oil.
Hmmm. That is like saying Christians should not have been divided over the issue of slavery. But guess what. The division arose because some Christians refused to go with the flow of what God was doing in the world.This is a very polarizing topic.

I believe that we are in the last days... I think that the most crucial element of life is knowing what is truth. I think that the enemy is systematically removing this essential basis for living today and being a light for our God, Lord and Savior.
Satan knows that if he can divide, he can conquer. So, the one solid thing that he is eroding is what is true...
Truth... it's so simple, yet with the corruption, on all levels of government and education, businesses, and even the church... this truth becomes elusive.
So, for this reason, I seek it. For this reason I pray that myself and others, will not be deceived..
An Episcopal Church in Falls Church, VA left the Episcopal Church after they ordained a lesbian. They became Anglican. The Episcopals sued them and got their church building back. The Anglican group found another meeting place. George Washington was a vestryman at that Episcopal Church.I was a part of a Charismatic Episcopal Church that got involved in the Toronto Blessing. I left because I was under a gag order and not allowed to say anything. Just sit there and keep quiet and do not ask any questions. They ended up leaving the Episcopal Church. It started with a church that owned their own building. But other churches I had been a part of had to leave their building because they belonged to the Episcopal Church. So they had to go back and start all over again at the beginning to buy a new building to assemble in. It was interesting the people they appointed to be the Bishop of this new denomination.
Why? We are taking something of no value in the earth and creating something of almost immeasurable value for all people of the earth. Should we go back to slaughtering whales for lamp oil?Stop extracting crude oil.
Watched a program on the British abolition last night. It should have been named the Great British Buy=Out! There was the equivalent of billions of dollars paid to the owners of the slaves for their freedom yet nothing to the slaves. The buy out actually changed the course of history in tracing who was paid the buy outs and where the money went from there. Shocking statistics!Hmmm. That is like saying Christians should not have been divided over the issue of slavery. But guess what. The division arose because some Christians refused to go with the flow of what God was doing in the world.
Should the other Christians have just dropped the subject and let slavery continue for unities sake? I don’t think so. And the appeals to the false prophecy in the guise of pop culture end time teachings will only further set many Christians on the path of opposition to God’s purposes and plans in the earth.
I feel sorry for Gretta. She is being used as a pawn and has no idea.The Lord calls on us to act with wisdom and to be good stewards of the Earth.
Furthermore - this should be common sense. Do you want to leave a good world for your children? Is this question even open to debate?
Greta Thunberg is making a good point when she says that the world's children will be angry and outraged with us ... if we leave them in an impossible situation. They will indeed be angry - and they should be.
There are many things that we can do personally. For example:
1. Start planting trees in your local area.
2. Get rivers, lakes and streams cleaned up.
3. Ride a bicycle more, or use the city bus.
4. Re-use simple things around your house and yard i.e. stop being a throw-away society.
5. Try to use more organic and biodegradable materials, not plastics.
6. Stop using all toxic chemicals in your yard or garden, esp. NO weedkillers and herbicides.
Blessings!

It is a bit presumptuous that crude oil has no value to our plant earth. Crude oil extraction to the extent we are taking it out of the earth, may be causing a shift. This is a theory. But I will share.Why? We are taking something of no value in the earth and creating something of almost immeasurable value for all people of the earth. Should we go back to slaughtering whales for lamp oil?
It is not God’s inspiration in your life making you think that way. Nor science, reason or logic.
Are you arguing that the injustice and crime of slavery being righted was worthless, unworthy and wrong because it was unjust to not pay former slaves for at least some of their labors that were stolen from them?Watched a program on the British abolition last night. It should have been named the Great British Buy=Out! There was the equivalent of billions of dollars paid to the owners of the slaves for their freedom yet nothing to the slaves.

I think that they are saying that the money didn't go to the rightful recipients... the slaves.Are you arguing that the injustice and crime of slavery being righted was worthless, unworthy and wrong because it was unjust to not pay former slaves for at least some of their labors that were stolen from them?
If it's not caused by human activity.. then what can we do about it...How is that not a problem? Regardless if you believe it’s due to human activity or purely natural.
I’m just saying it was proven to be a pay out. There was no way that abolition against slavery in British territories would have gone forward w/o compensation to appease those who thought of some humans as property, and as such, needed monetary value in place of those humans.Are you arguing that the injustice and crime of slavery being righted was worthless, unworthy and wrong because it was unjust to not pay former slaves for at least some of their labors that were stolen from them?
Not sure the weight factor on the earth changes even when fossil fuels are burnt. Just turns it into gas which weighs something. For all other extractions and conversions. The weight factor does not change at all.It is a bit presumptuous that crude oil has no value to our plant earth. Crude oil extraction to the extent we are taking it out of the earth, may be causing a shift. This is a theory. But I will share.
