Yeah but "since satellite records began" is all that counts. Vote Green!Oceans have always fluctuated in heat. Ice age come to mind?

Yep, but...here and now, it's going the other way, in a big way, and seems likely to end up with a fair part of Florida (and very many coastal cities in the world!) under the waves when the bigger storms come in...Oceans have always fluctuated in heat. Ice age come to mind?
It's getting interesting out there!

There will be more similar to New Orleans under water events here and there around the world in the next 10-20 years, and it looks like that's only the start of it.
Only in the sense that we're still mortal and in a corrupted world. We've been in the 'end times' since Acts 2 and Peter's sermon at Pentecost, or Hebrews 1 which announces the gospel fulfilled OT law and ushered in the "last days".Signs of the times!
I hear you! Australia has had 3 years of rain and flood which has recharged our bush to burn again.Wow....we were already getting pretty warm years (globally) even during the La Ninas
But it's not like it's on some timetable counting down to the end.
But ethically, what does this demand of us - given we're polluting the air, causing health problems for our neighbours, and heating up the climate?
That's why I think Christians are to think about and do something - even little like changing how you vote - about climate change.

2019's drought and mega-fires were like nothing I've ever seen. Sydney's grass went yellow like straw, and then thick disgusting smoke for 6 months. Fires. Then 3 years of La Nina. Floods, which washed toxic ash into all our rivers. Then Covid. Pandemic.
It's certainly been an interesting few years!
I'm Amil. He has one - but we don't know it. He could return in 5 seconds or 50,000 years - we just don't know!You don't think God works on a timetable?
Sure - but that's always been the case for the last 2000 years.It demands we get busy and witness to others, before it's too late.
Anything we do this side of heaven could be seen that way. Dinner parties, fun, "Marrying and giving in marriage", fighting for justice for the poor, preventing lead poisoning in our paints, educating children, treating diseases, feeding the poor, locking our homes and cars at night or when we go out. It's all polishing brass.That's like polishing brass on a sinking ship.
But in another way all these things also come under "loving your neighbour."
Which category do you fall into?I'm all for "love thy neighbor."
But what is it you want us to do?
Give up our:
- gas-powered cars
- cement patios
- glass windows
- barbecue grills
- fireplaces
- soda pop
- CO2 extinguishers
Looks to me like we've boxed ourselves into a no win situation.I'm all for "love thy neighbor."

It shows the hypocrisy that people of high religious commitment who believe God gave humans the duty of care to protect the Earth are more likely to deny climate change is human induced.
