In addressing the public perception of Anthropogenic Global Warming, this nine-part article considers evidence from the Bible and from simple scientific principles to prove that catastrophic man-made global warming is neither catastrophic, man-made or even global and that the God of creation is in full control of the climate today, just as He was at the beginning of time.

Accurate climate records go back no further than the 1850s. Carbon dioxide has only been measured properly since 1959, but the Bible records details of the entire climate system from the beginning of time until the end. There are many verses about the climate and about man’s place on this earth. Job firmly believed that God was in complete control of His climate system (Job 37). Should we believe the records of man since 1850, or the record of God since before the beginning of time? 1 John 4:1 tells us:
I am not saying that we should stand up and start trying to change the opinions of governments, the media or Al Gore. Matthew 7:6 warns us:
There is no point in us going to the world with Biblical arguments. They are blind to the truth, but we are not, and what I am saying is that we must test the spirits. We must test the spirit of Global Warming and see if it is of God. If it is not, then we must reject it. The notion that God is not in control of His own creation, is not of God. The idea that the future of the earth is in the hand of man, is not of God. True science will always support the truth of God’s Word, but it must be tested.
As believers, we don’t need to worry about the world’s opinions of climate change, but we do need to be concerned about our own thoughts. Are we finding ourselves blown about by the opinions of men, carried away on the wave of public hysteria, or are we rooted in the truth of God’s Word and in the precious protection of our Lord Jesus Christ? That is our desire, and that must be our focus. Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things, the climate system, the ecosystem, all of God’s creation, all these things shall be added unto you.
Amen.
