Consider the evidence. If what we are experiencing right now is Global Warming, then it has happened before and, if the Lord tarries, it will happen again. Remember Ecclesiastes 1:9.
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
There is nothing new under the Sun. The president of the Royal Society in London sent a letter to an Admiral in the British Navy. The letter said:
The president of the Royal Society wrote the letter in 1817. So I ask again, is the globe really warming? It really does depend what you compare it to. Compare it to 1817, you would have to say things are much the same. Compare it to medieval 1066, and it’s a lot cooler than it was then. Or you could compare it to 1975:
“There are ominous signs that the Earth’s weather patterns have begun to change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic decline in food production - with serious political implications for just about every nation on Earth.”
...further down...
“Meteorologists disagree about the cause and extent of the cooling trend…but they are almost unanimous in the view that the trend will reduce agricultural productivity for the rest of the century. If the climatic change is as profound as some of the pessimists fear, the resulting famines could be catastrophic.”
“To the layman, the relatively small changes in temperature and sunshine can be highly misleading…the present decline has taken the planet about a sixth of the way toward the Ice Age average.”
...and in conclusion...
“Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change, or even to allay its effects. The longer the planners delay, the more difficult will they find it to cope with climatic change once
the results become grim reality.”
Nothing new under the Sun. They were fools then, and they are even bigger fools now. Ecclesiastes 1:11.
There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.
How true. Despite the warnings of the past, despite the historical evidence, misguided scientists and ignorant journalists continue to make these bold claims based on weak evidence. The warming scare of 1817, the cooling scare of 1895, the warming scare of the 1950s, cooling again in 1975, and from the 1990s, Global Warming. Does that not tell you something? Cold, warm, cold, warm... The simple fact of the matter is that man cannot accept that the climate is not in his control. If man cannot control the climate, then he declares the climate is out of control. But that is simply not the case. God is in control, and He has promised in Genesis 8:22, that:
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Once again, just like in Ecclesiastes chapter 1, we have God’s climate system outlined here for us. Every 12 months, the seedtime and the harvest come
around. Every year we have the summer, followed by the winter. Day and night religiously follow a set 24 hour cycle. That is the perfection of God’s creation. By Him all things are held together. Cold and heat are no different, why should they be? Cold and heat are part of God’s climate cycle. Sometimes cold, sometimes hot, sometimes cold, sometimes hot. The climate is not out of control, it is simply following the divine order in which it was created. The climate system is maintained by the God of creation, and God, in His divine grace and wisdom has even given us the very method through which He maintains
His climate system. Genesis 1:14-16.
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: He made
the stars also.
The lights, Sun and Moon, were made to rule. They were created to control the earth, to control the seasons, the days and the years. The Sun and the Moon control the climate. They always have and they always will. It is the method with which God maintains His climate system. When you think about it, it is no real surprise.
Below is a scaled image of the Solar System. Just in from the right hand side, you can barely see Pluto, no longer considered as a planet. Jupiter, in the centre of the image, is the largest of the planetary bodies in the Solar System. Notice its size in comparison to the Earth. Now compare that to the size of the Sun:
The volume of the Sun is 1.3 million times larger than the earth, weighing 330,000
times more. The surface temperature is about 5,500°C, yet in all the Global
Warming reports the effect of the Sun is ignored. People will do and say anything
to wipe out all trace of God’s effect upon His own creation. I came across a debate
on the BBC website in 2007 drawing attention to the effect of the Sun, but it did
not get a lot of airtime. In fact, one very unwise blogger posted their own theory
on the subject, with these words:
“Maybe there is a chain reaction that warming of the earth due to carbon emissions
causes the Sun to overheat...We cannot just say that the earth warms because of
increased Sun activity, maybe the Sun’s increased activity is a reaction to what’s
going on on earth.”
Take another look at the magnitude of the Sun. It is fully accurate to say that the
earth warms because of increased solar activity. Although we hear nothing about
it in the media, there is significant evidence to suggest this, supporting what we
have already learned from the Word of God.
Sunspots are regions on the Sun’s surface of increased magnetic activity. These
sunspots have been observed for many years, and plotting sunspot activity, which,
unsurprisingly follows a regular cycle (eleven years in this case), we find that there
is a direct relationship between sunspot activity and the global temperature of the
earth, as you can see below.
This once again points towards God’s
perfect climate system. The Daily
Telegraph ran an article in July 2007
entitled ‘The truth about Global
Warming - it’s the Sun that’s to Blame.’
The article led with the line, “Global
warming has finally been explained:
the Earth is getting hotter because the
Sun is burning more brightly than at
any time during the past 1000 years.” It
made the Telegraph, but it didn’t even
get a look in on television.
In my opinion, the sunspot theory was confirmed when reports started to filter
out that Global Warming had been observed on other planets. The National
Geographic, The Times and the Canada Free Press all covered stories from
NASA observations of warming on Mars, Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto over the
last 15-20 years. Probes had been placed on some of these planets in the 80s
and 90s to observe climatic conditions. Recent measurements of the temperature
fluctuations showed that they were directly proportional to the warming
experienced on Earth in the same period.
There are no 4x4s or SUVs on Mars, no patio heaters on Jupiter. There’s nothing
anthropogenic about what’s going on there, and yet the television media still
fails to give airtime to the truth. The IPCC doesn’t even make mention of these
findings in any of their publications, not a word.
