The good news is we know what to do. The good news is, we have everything we need now to respond to the challenge of global warming. We have all the technologies we need, more are being developed, and as they become available and become more affordable when produced in scale, they will make it easier to respond. But we should not wait, we cannot wait, we must not wait.
AL GORE, speech at National Sierra Club Convention, Sept. 9, 2005
We have many advantages in the fight against global warming, but time is not one of them. Instead of idly debating the precise extent of global warming, or the precise timeline of global warming, we need to deal with the central facts of rising temperatures, rising waters, and all the endless troubles that global warming will bring. We stand warned by serious and credible scientists across the world that time is short and the dangers are great. The most relevant question now is whether our own government is equal to the challenge.
JOHN MCCAIN, speech, May 12, 2008
All across the world, in every kind of environment and region known to man, increasingly dangerous weather patterns and devastating storms are abruptly putting an end to the long-running debate over whether or not climate change is real. Not only is it real, it's here, and its effects are giving rise to a frighteningly new global phenomenon: the man-made natural disaster.
BARACK OBAMA, speech, Apr. 3, 2006
Sheweeee!!!! Alarmingly cold! Could it be that they've already employed this cooling technology? Sounds like they needed to act in the interest of time. Perhaps if it became too hot, their technology would be ineffective?
ReplyDeleteEither way, we have nothing to fear for OUR God controls the weather.BIBLICAL EXAMPLES. Scripture contains many examples of God controlling the weather and using it to direct people and nations…
* Genesis 6:5-9:19 (Earth destroyed by flood, people and animals killed)
* Exodus 9:23-29 (hail and fire from heaven on Egypt)
* Joshua 10:11 (hail on the Amorites, etc.)
* I Samuel 7:10 (thunder disperses the Philistines)
* Nahum 1:3 (judgment with whirlwind and drought)
* Leviticus 26:19-20 (rainless sky, parched earth)
* Deuteronomy 11:13-15 (rain as reward for obedience)
* Deuteronomy 28:24 (drought punishment)
* I Samuel 12:18 (thunder and rain to get people's attention)
* II Samuel 21:1 (drought and famine)
* I Kings 8:35-36 (good weather reward)
* I Kings 16:30-18:45 (rain withheld and given)
* Hosea 13:15 (dry weather)
* Amos 4:7 (rain given and withheld from certain cities)
* Jonah 1:4,10-15 (man punished and redirected by sea storm)
* Zechariah 14:17 (rain withheld as judgment)
* Revelation 16:21 (hailstone punishment)
In other words, weather is weather and God is God. As for man, he cannot affect the one but is called to serve the other who is Lord over both.
