This site has long argued that catastrophic global warming will bring about certain prophecies found in Revelation. There is also a significant body of scientific research that supports such a view.
The failure of climate activists, both inside and outside of the government, is they have sought to reduce carbon emissions by reducing the supply of oil, gas, and coal. This raises the cost of energy, bringing inflation and a reduced standard of living for all but the privileged. The Beast and the Whore also sought to use ‘climate policies’ for their own political gain, seeking to expand the power of the government over the rights of the people. Thus, this political activism has totally failed to do anything to bring about any real change.
This site has previously argued that the cost of carbon-free energy must be made cheaper than its carbon equivalent, in order to succeed. Similarly, any effort to reduce overall consumption should not be done through hyper-inflation, but rather from stopping excessive monetary and fiscal economic stimulus.
Though it is way too late to stop catastrophic global warming — as the amount of carbon already in the atmosphere is correlated with much higher global average temperatures (it just takes time for natural global warming cycles to kick in) — those politicians claiming that they care about global warming are all pursuing policies that not only have no impact on rising temperatures, but actually serve to exacerbate the problem. (I am going to be lazy and not lay out the hows and whys at this point.)
Global average temperatures continue to rise. The warming of the Arctic continues to release increasing amounts of methane into the atmosphere. The lack of ocean mixing in Antartica continues to contribute to the warming of the world’s oceans. It is possible that we are at or very near to the cusp of accelerated global warming. Or it is possible that global warming is all a hoax and God will merely miraculously burn all the grass and 1/3 of the world’s tree when Christ opens the Seventh Seal. The only upside to all this is that Believers will be raptured and be invited to the marriage of the Lamb before the Seventh Seal is opened (well, that is one of our arguments on this website).
Anyway, I guess that ended up being a rant……
