Our country has become very politicized, it would seem to me. The Democrats want the White House back and they bend the truth to accomplish that. The mainstream media seems to be their ally.

Panel Of Third Graders To Dictate Nation's Climate Change Policy September 18th, 2019 WASHINGTON, D.C.—At a panel on climate change held yesterday, the Senate brought in a group of excited third graders for ideas on fighting climate change. "These kids have ideas and they are passionate, so we must listen to them," said Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii. "There are no possible downsides to taking kids who have been told the world is ending by the public school system and allowing them to dictate national policies on important issues." The kids came up with the following list so far, though they say they're "just spitballing" and the ideas need some fleshing out: Bribing the climate with cookies and candy Putting the climate on time-out Just ignoring climate change and playing Fortnite Building a giant magnet and sucking up all the bad climate stuff Buying a Nintendo Switch for every person in the nation (so they'll stay inside and play Nintendo instead of driving cars) Making a big freeze ray gun like in Despicable Me and shooting the climate Pointing and laughing at cows who fart so they'll be embarrassed and stop farting Hey do you guys want to play some Minecraft? This is boring. "It's incredibly brave for these kids to volunteer to take over our government's climate change policies," said Schatz as the panel convened for its seventh Fortnite break of the morning. "I'm not sure why we didn't think of this before." The kids will also be asked to make policies on bedtime, homework, and candy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to occasions like these, God usually attends when He's invited. Maybe that's the problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adults never think of such practical solutions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's the problem. yes indeed and then we go and 'fix it' and that normally is a reciepe for disaster at worst or a headache at best for the long term. but a lot of folk dont see faith demonstrated and the belief that God will take care of things. in the main we only see the ground level and God has a panoramic view. how can that ever change? and with a shrinking platform for Christian outlook with a Godly base line.

I can't speak for the people on here, but yes, our lives are not threatened or endangered by our changing climate, yet. Cyclic climate change has always been in constant motion since Noah's flood. And yes, glaciers, Alaskans, sea levels and polar bears will be affected. Climate change during the tribulation is going to be unprecedented and supernatural. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
