I do not welcome mass death, but many Christians who believe in End Times theology seem to long for it. I cannot help but notice how much Climate Change enthusiasts and Christian doomsayers have in common. Are they just tired of living? Do they hate themselves and the world?
Clearly, the latter do have a death wish. If you are saying that there are such folks as "climate change enthusiasts," I'd like to hear a few names and supporting links.
The Earth's climate is always changing because it is driven by constantly fluctuating solar-energy output, an irregular Earth orbit around the Sun, and a million and one natural dynamic processes that are mainly beyond human control.
For someone who doesn't know anything about weather patterns, isn't this a religious based conclusion?
Climate change is happening now, has happened in the past since the Earth was first formed, and will happen into the future up to the moment the Earth is consumed by the Sun. The Sun will eventually run out of hydrogen fuel and gradually turn itself into an expanding red giant star that will envelop the Earth and expand past the orbit of Mars.
Yes, and who doesn't know this that is actually educated? That future time, last I heard, was four billion years away, so I'm personally not too worried about it. Are you?
I do not deny that a future dangerous global-warming trend is entirely possible; I only deny that hysterical thinking is useful. Shutting down debate by censoring and smearing critics is not good science. There have been a number of credible and substantiated allegations that some scientists have tweaked and faked data to fit their beloved doomsday theology. This kind of fraud is rather common among scientists testing drugs for pharmaceutical companies. A strong profit motive or a heavy belief system bias is not helpful to the proper implementation of the scientific method, which requires neutrality and an open mind.
Failing to read and think and pay attention is not good science either .
Reducing greenhouse-gas emissions as a precautionary measure is a responsible idea that I fully support,
I applaud your support for helping to save the earth.
but the facts show that renewable-energy schemes other than hydroelectric and geothermal power are of little or no use for reducing greenhouse-gas emissions. [SeeGermany's Green energy Disaster.] There are far better ways to reduce greenhouse-gas levels without costly government subsidies and dictatorial government mandates. For those better energy solutions and links to resources, please visit my websites, The Fusion Revolution and The Renewable Energy Disaster.
Cold fusion is an extraordinary possibility. But until it gets here, I'd say fill your tires properly, insulate your roof, fix up your windows, and put a better plug in your bathtub. And perhaps anything else that comes to mind.
Your detailed, supported, researched, intelligibly written response very much welcomed, and, personally, I look forward to reading it.
