This Sunday, Feb. 25, I will preach a very unusual sermon. My topic: global warming.

This may seem a strange, possibly even unnecessary, subject to some. But I believe the church must quickly get serious about denouncing the accelerating effort to promote the alleged catastrophic human-caused global warming.

This is especially true since some members of the evangelical community have recently aligned themselves with radical voices within the global warming movement. I see this as unnecessary and, worse, dangerous.

Now, I'm certainly not a scientist. But if one looks past the superficial reporting of the mainstream media and examines the many alternative scientific views on global warming, it is apparent that the earth frequently experiences warming and cooling trends. It appears to me

Oh yeah, Jerry Falwell....always the voice of reason.

[RedeemedByHim]

Oh yeah, Jerry Falwell....always the voice of reason.

I like Jerry Falwell...and many others...

Rascal!

Jerry does not need to be always perfectly wrong either.

In this case he just may be right.

These cycles appear to be normal!

It looks to me as if this could be some kind of extortion racket.

The pollution, should The Lord terry for many years, could come mainly from the very countries exempt!

Hopefully in time to halt a possible ice age!

I do believe the main issue facing the world today is still.....

"...... Jesus Christ, and him crucified." (1 Corinthians 2:2)

Wish Brother Jerry .......

Well, The Lord loves Jerry and will correct him as I pray The Lord will correct me!

And we'll dance before The King together and we'll Worship Him Who Is Worthy!

Maranatha!

I like Jerry Falwell, and I believe there may be global warming. I just don't believe it's caused by humans.

I Really Like waht he said in some parts but one comment he made really struck me as silly.

The treaty, which many are urging America to sign, would immediately cost America an estimated $325 billion, according to Yale University's William Nordhaus and Joseph Boyer. That's a lot of money to spend on halting an unproven theory.

When did God ever worry about money. I believe God appointed us as gaurdians of this earth his creation. Doesn't gives us the right to go crazy about it. But anything we can do as christians to stop damaging what we have been given would be a way to exspress Gods love. Unproven theory or not. How can you support someone who would rather make a buck today than worry about his kids future habitiat becoming extinct ...

Oh yes, the man who called Billy Graham a servant of Satan should DEFINITELY be trusted.

I don't understand why people want to listen to a man with no scientific background - which he admits - to aid him in understanding global warming. The fact that he thinks there are many "alternative scientific views" shows the extent of his misunderstanding. There is a scientific consensus internationally on anthropogenic climate change and the way that it is created (by burning fossil fuels, mostly). Period. There are not many "alternative" hypotheses out there, certainly no significant accredited ones that have appeared in peer-reviewed journals. His use of recent weather data further demonstrates his lack of knowledge about what scientists are actually saying about climate change - any college freshman in Geology 101 could tell you that climate change isn't instantaneous.

I'm still scratching my head as to why people are so adamant on refusing responsibility for global warming. I admit, global warming is a theory, it might not be true, but it might not be wrong. There is a lot of science going into it, and while I personally think that it is getting sensationalized today, there could very well be some pearls of truth through the media exposure. But really, even if there isn't global warming, what are we opposing this exactly?

We treat this world like crap; there is no getting around that. It doesn't matter if we are heating up like a solar cooker, or if we aren't doing a thing to our world, the fact is we blast our earth with nasty chemicals and garbage, and we pollute our air with tons and tons of smoke and sludge. Smog is our fault. Land fills are our fault. The rainforest getting chopped down is our fault. Candy wrappers on the ground is our fault. Acid rain is our fault.

The 325 billion being advocated is money that will attempt to clean up our industry pollutants, and help stem the tide of biproducts being propelled into our sky. Even if you don't believe in the cause of global warming, I think it is about time we make a big push to clean up our act, literally. We have been pretty terrible stewards of the earth, and this could be a step in the right direction.
