"An Inconvenient Truth"

Much has been made about this documovie. This morning Time Magazine titled an article "Climate Change - Case Closed." I'm not sure exactly why people have fought against accepting the reality of this change. Well, I guess I know. It's the same as always, money. To have to consider scaling down or doing something differently or reining in our greed is indeed to many an inconvenient truth.

However, there is, I think, a much greater inconvenient truth that also demands that people adjust their beliefs. This Truth is the fact that global warming, the warming of the oceans and the colossal storms this warming creates were predicted a couple thousand years ago.

"On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world ... Luke 21:25,26 (See also, Matthew 24:1-44; Luke 21:5-36). Of course "famines and earthquakes" are also said to be noteworthy of our times but those have nothing to do with climate change.

In case you're wondering, God hasn't just turned a blind eye to those who abuse the earth instead of subduing it and managing it properly. In Revelation 11:18 it talks about God "destroying those who destroy the earth."

For what it's worth, I find this an interesteing verse from Revelation 16:8 - "The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun and the sun was given power to scorch people with fire. They were seared by the intense heat and they curse the name of God ... and refused to repent and glorify Him." Sound like a lack of ozone?
