Is It Warm In Here?

GLOBAL WARMING IS A THEORY.

Did you cringe when you read that? Did you stop and think? Did you wake up? Maybe all three of those responses would be appropriate.

Global warming is a theory, and nothing else. Just like evolution and relativity, theories are in fact unproven ideas that are generally accepted as true by some, and untrue by others. Theories abound in our world, from why the Mets can't win a championship, to why some people always drive slow in the left lane, but in the end, they are only theories.

The "debate" over Darwin's evolution theory was always misled. Rather than forcing proponents of that misguided and totally humanist theory to prove how it is true (arguments such as, 'show us one animal in the midst of evolving' come to mind) and placing the onus upon them, creationists tried to argue their views with superior rationale and proof. In the end, those who generally want to discount God see creation as a theory as well. Of course, they must then examine all the data and see which makes the most sense. If they would do that, they would find that it takes more faith to believe an old decrepit man who doodled on paper, than to believe the one and only God who made all things. Oh, and by the way, the earth is not millions and millions of years old. That too is just a theory. The old "carbon dating" answer is about as reliable as a high mileage Yugo. Anywho, the same ideas should be applied to the so-called global warming debators. No one has to prove it's not happening, because if no one had ever postulated the erroneous idea, it would never be discussed. Warmer? What?

The main thing is this: global warming is a catch phrase assigned to a radical theory that is not clearly defined, other than "the world is getting warmer." How much warmer, and how quickly is hotly debated even among global warming supporters. Most scientists who adhere to this theory can't even clearly define how it has supposedly happened, or what can be done, if indeed anything needs to be done. However, of late, there seems to be a growing consensus among the "warmists" and those who disagree, that it is possible that the earths mean annual temperature average has risen approximately 1 degree in the last 100 years. But even this is fraught with misinformation and grand calculations that must estimate, due to the fact that global temps haven't been tracked or even properly recorded until very recently. So, for any group of scientists to come to a conclusion as to the mean temperature of our atmosphere for one year in 1907 would be tantamount to Michael Moore and Newt Gingrich agreeing on health care.

All kinds of questions and statements are now properly posed in the frenzy of the claims of global warming, including, "is the earth really 1 degree warmer? Even if you can prove this one claim true, is it still warming?" "What real effect will this have on anyone in the next century?" "Would we be better off if it were cooling off?" "If global warming is occurring, and if it's so horrendous, then why are we able to produce 100 times more produce today, than 100 years ago?"
The point is, that a few scientists think that maybe the earth's mean temp has risen an average of 1 degree in the past century, and from there they are spouting off all kinds of dooms-day theories (theories stacked upon other theories is a very unstable place to be) that may or may not correlate to the alleged rise. We might as well be sweating what will happen when that giant asteroid impacts the earth. Actually, that is a greater threat.

AlGore notwithstanding, and all the other tree huggers who have attached themselves to this train of fabrications, they are all missing one very important point:

THE WORLD DOES NOT NEED PROTECTING FROM US

WE NEED PROTECTION FROM THE WORLD

Case in point - just pack your bags, and leave your house for 6 months. Lock the doors, turn off all the electricity, and have no one lined up to deal with the yard. Return in 6 months and what will you find? The yard will be a jungle, vines and vegetation will have taken over your house and deck, and all kinds of critters will have taken up residence inside. It will take you another 6 months to rectify what nature has done in your absence.

Another experiment: just go out into the woods and lay down. Lay down for an extended period of time, for say, 10 days. Don't move and disturb the fragile nature around you. What will happen? You'll be worm food, my friend! You will not have impacted nature -- nature will have impacted you, by starting the process of breaking you down into the basic elements God used to form you.

God created this world with processes and systems. He did so to ensure the survival of the world until it is time for He to end it. And only God will end this world. Sure, mankind can have negative effects upon the world, but in the end, if one day doomsday comes (refer to the 3 "Terminator" flicks) and all humanity is wiped out (which will never happen -- God says so in Revelation), plant and animal life will reappear and will flourish in no time. The character played by Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park said it best when he said, "Life finds a way." He didn't say it this way, but what that means is, God's systems and processes cannot be thwarted by anything man can conjure.

So, are we to pillage and pollute this world? Of course not. Are we to monitor our impact and try to be good stewards, wasting not and finding new ways to limit pollution? Sounds about right. Are we to believe that man is a naturally caustic element on earth, and will by his very presence will eventually spell doom to all that God has created?

If you believe that, I've got some prime swamp land for sale just south of...

Massive past civilizations lie under tons of overgrowth and dirt even today, as yet undiscovered. They are hidden by natural processes and systems that man cannot overcome or conquer. Everything in your life requires constant maintenance, just to extend the life of it. No car lasts forever, and every building will eventually crumble back into the same elements it was made from. This doesn't happen because man is here. This happens because God has always been, and it's the way He created this earth to function. Man is not about to change that.

So, start protecting yourself from the nature God created. Wax that car, put some fresh paint on the house, spray for bugs, use that lotion and sunscreen, and make sure you're buried in an air-tight, waterless vault so that the worms have to work harder to eat you. Oh, and the temp down there remains at a steady 65 degrees, year round.
