Evangelical Declaration on Global Warming
Today I finally get to catch up with my RSS reader as I sit at my desk, coffee cup steaming, and watching the sub zero wind push around a few inches of wispy snow.
A few days ago my amazing wife wrote an article at Citizenlink.org referring to a Cornwall Alliance article which states:
“As governments consider policies to fight alleged man-made global warming, evangelical leaders have a responsibility to be well informed, and then to speak out.”
It then goes on to list four things they believe, four things they deny, and a call to action. I have always believed that catastrophic climate change and a Biblical world view cannot exist together. So I was very happy to see the very first point:
We believe Earth and its ecosystems—created by God’s intelligent design and infinite power and sustained by His faithful providence —are robust, resilient, self-regulating, and self-correcting, admirably suited for human flourishing, and displaying His glory. Earth’s climate system is no exception. Recent global warming is one of many natural cycles of warming and cooling in geologic history.
and:
We deny that Earth and its ecosystems are the fragile and unstable products of chance, and particularly that Earth’s climate system is vulnerable to dangerous alteration because of minuscule changes in atmospheric chemistry. Recent warming was neither abnormally large nor abnormally rapid. There is no convincing scientific evidence that human contribution to greenhouse gases is causing dangerous global warming.
They also point out the “fix” will harm the poorest among us more than anyone else.
Most of what liberalism purports to “fix” to help the poor etc. etc. are more harmful to those they say they want to help.
