Climate Summits/Just Talk?

What Next?

More conferences have been held or are planned, but skepticism runs high.  "The planet will continue to cook," said  New York Times columnist Paul Krugman. All too often, short-term political and economic benefits outweigh long-term  environmental factors, encouraging a business-as-usual approach.  "If you want to understand opposition to climate action, follow the money," says Krugman. He also wrote that the action on climate change in his country was essentially killed by "the usual suspects: greed and [political]cowardice." 

Global warming seems to be much like a hurricane. Meteorologists can measure the force of a hurricane and chart its possible course with reasonable accuracy-much to the benefit of those in its path. But all the scientists, politicians, and business leaders in the world cannot stop a hurricane. It seems  that the same may be true of global warming.  This fact calls to  mind the words found in the Bible  at Jeremiah 10:23:  "To earthling man his way does not belong. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step." 

Global Warming Will End-God's Way

The Bible tells us that "The Former of the earth and Maker of it .  .  . did not create it simply for nothing." (Isaiah 45:18)   The Bible also says:  "The earth endures for ever." -Ecclesiastes 1:4, The New English Bible.

Yes, God will not allow the earth to be rendered  uninhabitable. Rather, he will intervene in human affairs and bring an end to failed human rule and those who have no regard for the earth. At the same time, he will preserve alive all who lead morally upright lives and sincerely want to please him. Says Proverbs 2:21, 22: "The upright ones are the ones that will reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones that are left over in it. As regards the wicked, they will be cut off from the very earth; and for the treacherous, they will be torn away from it."
