​In a statement published by the journal of BioScience, 11,000 “scientists” sounded the alarm about the emergency that is climate change and called on governments and people to take action.
 
The statement read: “We declare clearly and unequivocally that planet Earth is facing a climate emergency… An immense increase of scale in endeavors to conserve our biosphere is needed to avoid untold suffering due to the climate crisis… The climate crisis is closely linked to excessive consumption of the wealthy lifestyle… To secure a sustainable future, we must change how we live…”
 
Boy, does that sound like a huge warning and boy does that sound like a massive pile of crap. Funny enough, whoever thinks this is, indeed, a massive pile of crap is absolutely right.
 
Feel free to explore literally any of the other articles I have written over the last few years regarding climate change to see how utterly ludicrous this is. But for this article, I will allow for others to (sort of) make the arguments for me.
 
You see, apart from the fact that this statement is ridiculous on its face, clearly only serves the Left’s desires of obtaining and retaining power, and offers little in terms of accurate scientific evidence, there are a number of problems with just about everything surrounding this statement.
 
First of all, 15,000 “scientists” signed a similar statement back in 2017, giving the same warning about climate change. What happened to the other 4,000 “scientists” this time around? Were they unavailable for comment? Were they on sabbatical? Did they change their minds? I don’t know, but the fact that there are thousands less “scientists” to sign this nonsense is quite telling.
 
Second of all, a decade ago, over 30,000 American scientists signed the Global Warming Petition Project, which was a warning that there was NO convincing scientific evidence to suggest or prove man-made climate change was real. The Project also insisted that global pacts like the Paris Climate Accord (such as the Kyoto Protocol) were counterintuitive to science and people’s very lives.
 
Funny how a petition signed by more than 30,000 American scientists didn’t get any airtime from the cable news networks but 11,000 signatories from across the world received MSM attention.
 
Third of all, out of the 11,000 signatories of the most recent climate warning, only 156, or 1% of them, had a job title that included the field of climate research. The rest includes a list of the following:

• 974 “students” and 342 “candidates” for doctoral work.

 

• Ecologists

 

• Biologists

 

• Agricultural specialists

 

• Economists

 

• Zoologists

 

• Activists

 

• Environmentalist Sociologists (whatever that means)

 

• A zoo keeper

 

• An accountant with a PhD

 

• A foreign language teacher

 

• A scientist’s mom

 

• A research project manager

 

• An urban planning consultant

 

• Professor Albus Dumbledore, the Headmaster of Hogwarts from the fictional book series “Harry Potter”

 

• ​And Mickey Mouse  

 
I am not even joking. That’s how bad and outright funny this list is (which is now inaccessible since it was discovered that the talking mouse had signed it). Not only are an extremely low amount of people who have any sort of experience in the field of climatology the signatories, but some of the signatories are outright FICTIONAL CHARACTERS!
 
I honestly don’t know what’s funnier: that these people are desperate enough to credit a scientist’s MOM or fictional characters.
 
Have a look at the following pictures to find the sort of colorful cast this list includes:

​This list is beyond parody and the titles that this list includes is a major reason I say that these are “scientists”. Yes, there are many here who actually are scientists, but not people who are qualified to sound the alarm over climate change in this manner. That 11,000 number may sound like a lot, which is its major intention, but 99% of it is filled with people who are either not climatologists, not doctors, not scientists or not even real.
 
Even one of the Zoologists on the list says that they are from the University of Neasden, UK. There is no University of Neasden, UK. The University of Neasden, UK is said to be a fictional university created by a British satirical magazine.
 
To put it into perspective, it’d be like giving credence to someone who was featured in a “The Onion” article.
 
The entire statement has a lot of problems, from bad graphs (no graph used shows historical data past 1980, so the lines are very sharp and diagonal when throughout the history of the world, what we have now might be considered fairly normal) to less signatories in just two years to the fact that there was a similar warning only two years ago to the fact that far more than double the amount of just American scientists argue AGAINST the idea of man-made climate change to the hilariously unqualified signatories ranging from scientists that have nothing to do with the climate to other professions to family members of a scientist to fictional people from fictional places.
 
Anyone who would even for a minute take this statement seriously is severely lacking in any sort of information about the topic at hand. Worse still, they would have to be severely lacking in this sort of information about who the signatories actually are or would have to be extremely dishonest to push this as any sort of significant evidence that there is a climate crisis and we must act with haste and in extreme ways.
 
Again, I invite you to read over any of the other articles I have written over the years surrounding the topic of climate change. Regardless of what you may think of them, or even me, I can guarantee I’m more qualified to talk about climate change than MICKEY MOUSE.
 
Proverbs 14:5
“A faithful witness does not lie, but a false witness breathes out lies.”
 
Author: Freddie Marinelli. 
​

We are in early November. Halloween has passed, people are beginning to prepare for Thanksgiving and are beginning to put up Christmas decorations (way too early, in my opinion, but oh well). In other words, we are near the end of 2019. So imagine my surprise to hear perhaps the singular dumbest take I have ever heard, at least with regards to climate change, this late in the year. That is a spectacular feat, in my opinion.
 
Speaking to MSNBC anchors Ali Velshi and Stephanie Ruhle, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo made the ludicrous and rather audacious claim that there were no such things as hurricanes, tornadoes or storms before climate change.
 
“Ali, anyone who questions extreme weather and climate change is just delusional at this point,” began the idiotic governor, not realizing the extreme irony of his statement. “We have seen in the State of New York and we have seen – it is something we never had before. We didn’t have hurricanes or super storms or tornadoes.”
 
A rather short quote, but it says an awful lot about the man’s intellectual capacity.
 
First of all, he’s hilariously wrong, of course. Even doing a simple Google search of “New York hurricanes”, you can find a Wikipedia article that lists the hurricanes that made landfall in New York. The article itself notes 4 hurricanes and 2 super storms before 1800 alone. It notes that one hit as early as 1278 to 1438 (they aren’t certain of the exact date because no one can know for sure about such events without having some way to document/record them, which is a major reason Cuomo is hilariously wrong and a point I will return to).
 
Second of all, the quote in itself is extremely vague. When has there ever not been a change in the climate as time went on? There was never a point in Earth’s history when there wasn’t climate change. That term is far too loosely and erroneously used. “Before climate change” would have to mean before Earth’s very existence. But even still, we know what this idiot means. He means “before man-made climate change”, which is not real. He means “before we started using cars and A/Cs and planes and we had a lot of farting cows.”
 
But again, to return to the Wikipedia article, we find 4 hurricanes and 2 super storms before 1800 alone and we didn’t start using cars more extensively until the early-to-mid 20th century. So how do you go about explaining those storms before the modern excuses made by the Left were actually around?
 
And how do you go about explaining the Roman and Medieval Warming Periods, which occurred WELL before the introduction of cars, A/Cs, planes, oil-powered ships, and whatever else Leftists blame for climate change? Even the Modern Warm Period, which began in the late 1920s or early 1930s, can’t be explained away with these same excuses because there’s no way they would’ve been widely used throughout the world enough to cause the sort of damage the Left claims modern vehicles and numbers of vehicles produce. The first automobiles to be mass produced in the U.S. were the ones with the crank in the front and that began in 1901. Roughly 20 to 30 years of considerably less than 77 million adults (total population of U.S. in 1901 was 77.5 million people, but that includes children, so there are less adults) both having the knowledge to drive and money to afford a car (the 1901 Oldsmobile sold for $650 or $16,000 today and only 1.6% of the population made over $25 a week, which tells you a lot about the worth of money at the time).
 
What I’m trying to say is that not even the Modern Warming Period can be explained away with the excuses the Left throws out.
 
Now, do you want to know what’s particularly ironic with regard to Cuomo’s idiotic claim? The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) notes that there has been a “negative trend” of hurricanes making landfall since the late 1800s and no other research has shown an increase of global hurricane activity. So, if anything, there have been LESS hurricanes since “climate change” began, whatever that’s supposed to mean.
 
The final point I wish to make revisits something I said in my first one: there’s no way to tell what happened even a few hundred years ago with perfect accuracy without a means to document and/or record the incident. We especially have no way to track such hurricane and storm activity with a great amount of accuracy less than a millennium ago. So there is absolutely no way for Cuomo to be even relatively right about what he’s saying because he can’t be certain of it himself, at least not while being backed up with facts.
 
Obviously, the facts already go against what Cuomo claims. Today, when we can track, record and document hurricanes, their strength, their path, etc., we still show less hurricanes than before the 1800s, as I mentioned the NOAA noted.
 
Aside from the fact that we already know there is no direct causation between climate change and extreme weather events like hurricanes and other storms, even if there were, the evidence would show that “climate change”, at least during the period the Left claims it began and up until now, has actually been rather beneficial to people. This is assuming the Left is right about the assertion of “when” climate change began.
 
But no matter what way you slice it, what Gov. Andrew Cuomo said is absolutely lunatic. Aside from the fact that there is no way for him to verify that what he says is true, the very basic claim that there was a particular “beginning” to climate change (where he means we have something to do with it) is laughable at best and concerning at worst. Concerning not because he might be right but because we have to live with the knowledge that he is governor of an entire state. This man is the one leading New York right now. Pathetic, isn’t it?
 
The only ones here who actually are delusional are the people that believe man can cause storms like this. That’s some ancient Native American, African tribe type of stuff, where people would try and make it rain through “rain dances”. The belief that man can affect the climate in such a way is not only extremely antiquated, but goes against the very facts that we have and the very knowledge that we possess. It goes against reality itself.
 
But facts don’t matter to the climate cult. Try and explain any of this to someone that fervently believes in man-made climate change and you will be the one tried as a heretic. These people take ancient beliefs about the climate and call it science. An absolute shame.

Leftists blame just about everything on climate change. AOC blames climate change (and white people) for the death of her grandfather, who was killed when Hurricane Maria struck the Caribbean. They blame every single hurricane and storm on climate change, as though these things are completely and utterly unheard of before we had the combustion engine. And every time there is a wildfire in California, the Left blames climate change.
 
So it comes as no surprise that former California Governor Jerry Brown blames climate change, and more specifically, climate change deniers in Trump and fellow Republicans, for the wildfires in the state.
 
“California’s burning while the deniers make a joke out of the standards that protect us all,” Brown told the House Oversight Committee last Tuesday. “The blood is on your soul here and I hope you wake up. Because this is not politics, this is life, this is morality… This is real.”
 
Whatever grandstanding the communist former governor might attempt, it doesn’t erase the fact that he is completely wrong about what he’s saying. First of all, there is no scientific evidence that supports the idea that climate change causes forest fires. As I wrote in an article titled: “There Is No Link Between Climate Change And Extreme Weather Events,” 31 leading climate scientists gathered in Hohenkammer, Germany in 2006 and “ultimately concluded that any trend of rising ‘climate damages’ were primarily due to increased population densities and economic activity in the path of storms and that it was… not possible to determine what portion of those damages can be attributed to greenhouse gases.”
 
Secondly, according to the Los Angeles Times, the current California Getty Fire sweeping through L.A. was reportedly caused by a tree branch that was blown into power lines by high winds. Hard to argue that it was climate change that caused any of that.
 
Thirdly, and most importantly, the REAL reason for these wildfires are California’s idiotic environmental policies that make it almost impossible and extremely expensive to cut down trees. California’s forests are overgrown. The density of the forests are twice what they were 150 years ago and 10 of the state’s 20 biggest and deadliest fires have all occurred in the last decade alone, according to Climate Depot.
 
“Green sentiment has beaten back the timber industry, which might have put life-saving access roads into wild areas. It has prevented controlled burns (for fear of disrupting animal habitats) and barred even minor brush-clearing programs,” reports Climate Depot.
 
What’s insanely ironic, however, is that even Jerry Brown himself seems to have understood this principle at one point, despite what lunacy he attempts to peddle. You see, on his final day as governor, Jerry Brown admitted to having quietly signed bills removing some impediments to “controlled burns” and also allotting $190 million a year to “improve forest health and fire prevention,” according to Climate Depot.
 
So even the commie governor understood, at least privately, that the biggest reason for these wildfires in California are the state’s asinine environmental laws that do more harm than help.
 
Going back to what Brown told the House Oversight Committee, he said that the deniers were making jokes about the “standards that protect us all.” Not only is he fundamentally wrong here, as, again, ten of the state’s twenty biggest and deadliest wildfires have occurred in the last decade, so they don’t protect anything, but he even has seemingly disagreed with the notion that such standards protect the people of California by his quiet actions as governor.
 
“The blood is on your soul here and I hope you wake up. Because this is not politics, this is life, this is morality… This is real.” Those are words that Brown needed to have told himself. He was governor of California from 2011 to 2019. It’s his own policies that have endangered California’s citizens and Gavin Newsom has only continued such atrocious policies.
 
If the blood of those killed by the wildfires is on anyone, it would be on Brown, Newsom, the environmentalist wacko lobby and the whole of the American Left. THEY are the ones implementing such disastrous environmental policies that handcuff those who would keep the forests and the people safe. PG&E wouldn’t have to create massive blackouts if the powerlines were buried into the ground instead of choosing the “environmentally-friendly” options.
 
The “green” policies that Commiefornia Democrats espouse only cause harm to the environment and to the people of the state. In order for the forests to survive, they need to be well-maintained, which often times means controlled burns and allowing the timber industry to cut down a good number of trees. It also means burying powerlines that could cause out-of-control wildfires. Homelessness has also been cited as being a cause for some wildfires, considering fires have started in homeless camps, so employing socialist economic policies is also a massive detriment to the environment and to the people of California (at least to those living outside the 1%).
 
It isn’t climate change that causes these wildfires. It’s the idiotic and counter-productive environmental policies employed by the Left that cause these wildfires. Not that it matters to these people. As long as there are wildfires, they can fool people into believing climate change is causing them and taking “action” against them (meaning giving everything you own to the State) is the only viable “solution” to this problem. The Left is more than happy to see more and more wildfires that get more and more deadly as time goes on because of the sort of brainwashing they can do with it. Despite the very clear fact that it’s their policies that are causing this, as long as the attention can be drawn elsewhere, they won’t have any problems and will only succeed in getting what they want.
 
California is every bit the failed state that Venezuela is, only held up by the fact that it’s part of the United States and that carries with it the benefits of not completely tanking. Many are already leaving the state because of the terrible conditions it is in. What’s unfortunate is that many who leave the state move into other ones and vote for the same type of people who would employ the very policies that caused them to move out in the first place.

“If a ruler listens to falsehood, all his officials will be wicked.”
 
Author: Freddie Marinelli.

A recent report commissioned by the Pentagon gives us a dire warning about our future: the U.S. military and the whole world could face a grim reality due to climate change because of “blackouts, disease, thirst, starvation and war.”
 
From what they write, it seems as though climate change is a serious threat, not only to the defense of the nation, but to the entire population of the world. We must act now! Or, we could stay the course because this is far from the first such warning given to us by the “intelligence” community.
 
As always, people see these apocalyptic warnings and are left scared and without hope (all in an effort to elect Democrats who will do zero about it because they literally can’t do anything about it) and the doomsday clock gets reset once again.
 
Honestly, I find it rather interesting that the Pentagon would give us a 20-year warning for this. Don’t they know that we only have 11 years left? That’s what AOC said, at least, and we all know how much of an intellectual she is.
 
Oh, wait, I’m forgetting another important thing: we already died due to the net neutrality repeal! That’s right, I forgot.
 
But wait, it says here that back in February of 2004, the Pentagon warned President George W. Bush that climate change would destroy the world over the next 20 years and that Britain would be “plunged into a ‘Siberian’ climate by 2020,” according to The Guardian. So then, this warning must be good news, surely! We used to only have 20 years back in 2004, 15 years ago and Britain would be like Siberia by 2020, which is only a few months away.
 
Success! We have pushed back climate change! Wait, why aren’t people celebrating? Especially when back in May of 1976, the CIA warned us that climate change would bring about destruction to the whole world and that clearly hasn’t happened? We have pushed back climate change by over 50 years!
 
It’s the same song and dance year after year after year and it doesn’t look like many people are learning the most important lesson: make your apocalyptic predictions far enough away in time that no one will remember them and next to no one will be alive to remember it.
 
Allow me to return to an article I wrote just a month ago. Back in that article, I noted forty-one different times climate “experts” or at least prominent Leftists made predictions about what would happen and when the climate apocalypse would begin.
 
In that article, I noted fake news media articles declaring: “Dire Famine Forecast by ‘75” from 1967, “Foe Of Pollution Sees Lack Of Time,” from 1969 that also, interestingly, had a 20 year forecast, a new ice age being forecasted by the beginning of the 21st century, dire warnings of water and food rationings in the U.S. by 1974 and 1980 respectively, and overall a slew of predictions that were 100% false or erroneous.
 
And it looks like the Pentagon is on the same boat. Can’t exactly say I’m surprised, given how politically-influenced all levels of government have become.
 
Climate change is not a threat to anyone, least of all the United States Military. Whatever dire predictions people make today are some of the exact same ones they have been making FOR NEARLY A CENTURY!
 
If it’s not global cooling, it’s acid rain. If it’s not acid rain, it’s global warming. If it’s not global warming, it’s climate change. Every single year, we find ourselves in the middle of a new doomsday clock.
 
Again, AOC already warned about the world only having 12 years to deal with climate change, but now, the Pentagon says we have 20. And they said we only had 20 years back in 2004. And Al Gore said we only had 10 years in 2006. And every single person in on this farce has warned about the world only having a set amount of time to take care of it and it’s all crap.
 
We didn’t die of global cooling or an ice age in the 1970s, we didn’t die of acid rain in the ‘80s, we didn’t die of global warming at the turn of the century, we didn’t die of climate change in 2016, we’re not going to die in about 15 months like Prince Charles believes, we’re not going to die in 11 years like AOC believes and we’re not going to die in 20 years like the Pentagon believes.
 
Regardless of any future warnings that may arise, regardless of how far into the future they are, they are not going to come true because of how utterly wrong they are about what they preach. I’ve already explained how we’ve had other notable warming periods in history, back when the Roman Empire was a thing and back when knights were a thing. Neither could possibly be explained away in the same manner that this warming period is being explained. Man-made climate change is nothing but a hoax because man cannot influence the planet in the way that these people claim.
 
Certainly, we aren’t causing the sort of damage they claim we are. And even regarding the pollution that does happen, most of it comes from Asia, specifically China. China is one of the biggest polluters, if not the outright biggest polluter, in the entire world. And yet, cowards like the climate puppet Greta Thunberg and other “concerned environmentalists” don’t even try and wag their fingers at the communist state.
 
If it was so dire that we stop such pollution for the sake of the planet, wouldn’t it be important to tackle the biggest polluters, even if they are the communist regime of China? Since they aren’t doing that, what reason do I have to trust them regarding anything about the climate?
 
So no, I’m not going to buy into the Pentagon’s idea that we will die in 20 years. These people have zero credibility and it baffles me that people would actually take them seriously.
 
Ironically, the same people that tell us to “trust” the intelligence community are the same ones that have lambasted it for decades and tore into them when they told us there were WMDs in Iraq when there weren’t any to be found.
 
There is no actual intelligence in any of the people that run the “intelligence” community.

There are good ways and bad ways to organize protests. Good ways to organize protests are protests like Rosa Parks refusing to sit at the back of the bus, or staging protests at the steps of Capitol Hill or other places, so long as they remain non-violent.
 
Bad ways to organize protests are shutting down busy streets and/or public transportation to keep commuters from getting to work and forcing them to “listen” to their “important” message regarding climate change.
 
The latter is what the idiotic climate change group “Extinction Rebellion” has decided as of late.
 
As if the embarrassing “Shut Down DC” event wasn’t enough, the brainwashed loons have held other, relatively similar protests, shutting down streets and even shutting down London Tube subway stations.
 
According to the BBC: “Extinction Rebellion activists climbed on to trains at Stratford, Canning Town and Shadwell in Thursday’s rush hour. Eight protesters have been arrested, British Transport Police (BTP) said. The Jubilee Line and Docklands Light Railway were temporarily suspended. Extinction Rebellion later said it would ‘take stock’ of the reaction to the latest action for future protests. Spokesman Howard Rees said: ‘Was it the right thing to do? I am not sure. I think we will have to have a period of reflection. It is too early to say.’”
 
No, forcing people to miss work and listen to your insane rhetoric is not the right thing to do. Whether or not one buys into the insanity that is the climate change cult, no one wants to be disturbed from being able to get to work and pay their bills, feed their families, etc.
 
At the London Tube situation, commuters yanked the protesters off of the railcars, with some attempting to hit the protesters too. Obviously, hitting the protesters is wrong and they shouldn’t do that, but the protesters shouldn’t be disrupting entire systems just to spout their nonsense.
 
What’s more, it is extremely ironic that they would be willing to shut down public transportation when public transportation is one of the things they want more people to use.
 
Not that I expect these people to have the mental capacity to recognize the irony and uselessness of their actions.
 
But the worst part about the entire thing is that they do themselves no favors with gaining public support when they are ACTIVELY ANNOYING THE PUBLIC!
 
It’d be like a politician trying to garner support by insulting his or her supporters. How likely is such a tactic to work?
 
Even the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, condemned the protesters, releasing an official statement that reads:
 
“I strongly condemn the Extinction Rebellion protestors who have targeted the London Underground and DLR this morning. This illegal action is extremely dangerous, counterproductive and is causing unacceptable disruption to Londoners who use public transport to get to work. It is also an unfair burden on our already overstretched police officers. I urge demonstrators to protest peacefully and within the boundaries of the law.”
 
Arguably, a way to help police officers from being overstretched would be keeping them from arresting people who “offend” others on Facebook, but that’s an argument for another time.
 
When the very Leftist Muslim mayor of London is wagging his finger at these people, you know how little support they have. But again, it shouldn’t come as any surprise to anyone. You don’t do yourself any favors by acting in this manner, by actively annoying and disrupting people’s lives in this way.
 
Politically, I don’t want them to stop because it only hurts their cause, but humanely, I want them to stop because who knows how badly these people need to get to where they need to go?
 
Maybe someone in that crowd of disrupted Londoners had to get to an important job interview and could very well have missed it as a result. Maybe someone had a medical emergency and needed to get to a hospital or clinic quickly. Maybe someone is working a minimum wage job and time missed would mean a smaller paycheck to afford their rent or food or bills, etc.
 
In disrupting people like this, it only serves to get people turned off from the issue they are trying to raise. And while the issue in question is insanely idiotic, some people buy into it, clearly. But no one would be willing to support these guys if they only prove to be a nuisance to the general population.
 
Don’t misunderstand, I’m not trying to help Extinction Rebellion in the least. I would love for them to continue to be seen as a nuisance and for their efforts to utterly backfire on them, as they have been so far.
 
However, looking at it from a human standpoint, disrupting the lives of busy and employed people (yes, I am heavily implying that Extinction Rebellion protesters don’t have jobs, given they have the time to do this sort of thing) is not helpful to anyone.
 
Again, you just don’t know how necessary it is for someone to get to where they need to go and time is of the essence. To stage such protests, regardless of intention, is entirely counterproductive both for the protesters and for the commuters they are halting.
 
But I highly doubt these people will simply stop as a result of this. At the end of the day, they are narcissists who believe and expect that others support them and their cause and agree with them entirely. They stage such protests because they expect to be lauded as heroes by the people and the media for bringing attention to the “issue” of climate change.
 
At the end of the day, however, they are nothing more than the crazy people who shout: “The end is near! The end is near!” After all, that’s what Extinction Rebellion is all about: insisting that the world is ending because of climate change.
 
They believe just about everyone agrees with them and might even join in on their activities, but being the narcissists that they are, forget that other people have jobs to get to and things to do.
 
Again, there most likely were people among those commuters who overall agreed with the message being sent out, but heavily disagreed with the means by which to send out the message. In this manner, they only hurt the very people who support their ideology. And those that don’t only get even more pissed at them for disrupting their lives in such a way for such a ridiculous reason.
 
Like I have said before, climate change alarmism is nothing more than a cult. They live and die by their ideology of climate hysteria and have recently seemingly selected their “savior” in Greta Thunberg (who might fall out of favor when they find another, younger kid to abuse for their insane ideology). No amount of scientific fact or evidence will convince them that they are wrong. They are emotionally and spiritually invested in this, leading them to make irrational arguments and do irrational things such as halting entire public transport systems just to lecture people about the environmental benefits of using public transport.
 
They are wrong about everything they believe and can easily be proven such, but that will never deter them. They have been successfully brainwashed to do the political Left’s bidding.
 
Galatians 1:8
“But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.”
 
Author: Freddie Marinelli.

One of the biggest and funniest ironies in the climate alarmist cult is the fact that the solutions they present, at least with regards to alternative energy, are not only unnecessary and unable to replace the capabilities of natural gas and coal, but also have a tendency to severely backfire on the supposed intentions of their implementation.
 
What do I mean? Well, recently, Duke Energy, a North Carolina energy company, asked for a waiver of the state’s emission standards because its solar program releases more pollution into the atmosphere than its natural gas production does.
 
According to North State Journal: “A seven-month investigation and numerous public information requests have revealed the move to increase solar power might be leading to an increase in the very emissions alternative energy sources aim to reduce. Duke spokeswoman Kim Crawford confirmed that increased solar power on the state’s electric grid is increasing emissions of nitrogen oxide (NOx), a dangerous air pollutant. She said that reductions in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions could also reverse if current solar growth continues without policy changes.”
 
So let me get this straight: solar energy, one of the alternative energy sources the Left pines for and claims is a far better alternative to fossil fuels, natural gas, etc., not only emits an air pollutant in nitrogen oxide, which can cause asthma in children and other respiratory problems in vulnerable populations, as well as contributing to smog and acid rain, according to The American Lung Association, but it could also reverse reductions of CO2 if the program continues to grow without any sort of policy changes?
 
The very energy source that is SUPPOSED to reduce carbon emissions could do the exact opposite of its original intent if it only continues to grow, AND it could emit a lot more nitrogen oxide into the atmosphere?
 
The irony is too rich.
 
Returning to the North State Journal, “Under its current permits in the heavily regulated market, Duke must completely shut down the backup combustion turbines when solar peaks under a full sun, then restart them when the sun recedes… Without any solar power in the mix, ‘a typical combined cycle combustion turbine emits NOx at approximately 9-11 lb/hr., assuming 24 hours of ‘normal’ operation,’ Crawford said. That is equivalent to 264 pounds of NOx emissions daily. When those same plants are operated to supplement solar power facilities, daily emissions more than double to 624 pounds a day, based on a table in Dukes application.”
 
So when combustion turbines work without supplementing solar, that is considerably better for the environment than when it does supplement solar energy? Forgive me, I might actually laugh out loud.
 
But wait, there’s another problem with solar. According to the Los Angeles Times, “Federal biologists say about 6,000 birds die from collisions or immolation annually while chasing flying insects around the [Mojave Desert] facility’s three 40-story towers, which catch sunlight from five square miles of garage-door-size mirrors to drive the plant’s power-producing turbines.”
 
So not only does solar emit more nitrogen oxide and have the capability of reversing reductions in CO2, its chief objective (at least according to the media), but it also stands to kill birds and perhaps other animals because it fries them?
 
I already knew that wind power turbines were a massive hazard for birds, as a 2013 Forbes magazine article reported those things kill around 600,000 birds every year, with that number possibly being higher due to wind companies not having the obligation of publicly stating how many birds their turbines kill each year, but solar is also a considerable hazard for birds too?
 
Don’t take my tone of writing to mean that I am happy over this fact. Killing that many birds every year has to be pretty damaging for the ecosystem, at least long term if these numbers are sustained. But I just find it incredibly ironic that wind and solar, which are the Left’s most popular forms of energy production, have so many drawbacks with so few benefits.
 
Not that that should be in any way unexpected. Socialism itself is nothing but drawbacks and the Left is all in favor of it. But I just find it interesting, if not exactly totally unexpected, that the more we find out about things the Left loves, the more we find out just how horrible they are.
 
Wind and solar, apart from not being able to produce anywhere near as much energy as fossil fuels, natural gas or even nuclear can, also have their fair share of polluting of the planet and harm to the environment.
 
Again, none of this is really unexpected, but it is important to note when there are real examples of the sort of mess the Left wants for us. I point out the failures of socialism in Venezuela, China, etc., not because I’m in any way surprised by such failures but to point out that that’s what they lead to.
 
Similarly, while not really anything here regarding solar is much of a surprise to me, the part about nitrogen oxide is a bit new to me and just another arrow in my quiver. Solar energy, apart from the fact that it comes nowhere close to achieving the same amount of energy production as natural gas, is considerably harmful for the environment, which is not something that is ever going to be reported by the fake news media.
 
You will never hear about the amount of birds wind turbines kill each year. And keep in mind that article from Forbes was from 2013 – 6 years ago. Assuming that base 600,000 birds number to be true and consistent, over the past 6 years, 3.6 million birds have been killed due to wind turbines. And again, that’s AT MINIMUM because not all wind energy farmers publicly report bird deaths (I wonder why).
 
Likewise, you will never hear about the polluting damage that solar can cause because these two alternative energy sources are the go-to sources for the climate alarmist cult. They disavow nuclear because of Chernobyl (weird how they don’t disavow communism because of Chernobyl), so they fight against that source, and think natural gas is killing the planet. Yet, we see that the sources they laud as being “planet savers” are far worse options for the environment and for modern societies.
 
This is really just another example of how fraudulent the climate alarmist movement truly is. Taking aside the apocalyptic and pessimistic warnings they send out every single day of every single year, the very energy sources they wish to adopt would only harm people and the planet.
 
Again, that’s not really surprising considering the people peddling for this are the same people who support the most devastating and horrible ideology known to man: socialism.

“And that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men. For not all have faith.”

I have long made the argument that climate alarmism is nothing short of a religious cult following and deeply devoting its members to a “truth” they cannot prove and call those who do not believe “deniers”. However, you would hope and expect Christians to be able to understand what a sham this is and how dangerous it would be to fall for this fake gospel. And yet, people like the Pope and the Church of Sweden have fallen away from Christ and succumbed to the cult of climate change.
 
But while the Pope might be idiotic regarding this, at least he hasn’t been as heinous as to be heretical about it (from what I can tell, at least). No, the Church of Sweden has gone as far as to do that.
 
Back in December of last year (so admittedly, it has been some time, but it’s still necessary to point this out), the Church of Limhamn tweeted the following (which has obviously been translated): “Announcement! Jesus of Nazareth has now appointed one of his successors, Greta Thunberg.”
 
Before I rebuke these guys for saying this, the reason this is being talked about right now is because it resurfaced after its most recent support for the teenage climate puppet, and following an announcement by the Church of Sweden Malmo that they would be ringing their church bells in conjunction with last week’s Global Climate Strike:
 
“In conjunction with the Global Climate Strike, church bells ring and we gather in prayer for the future of the earth. We pray that we believe that man is responsible for nurturing and managing Creation so that children are given the opportunity for a future. We pray that we know that climate change affects the most vulnerable – poor, children and women. We pray that we believe in man’s ability to change and change.”
 
The church’s site also reads: “When the Amazon burns, we gather to fight for Mother Earth together. WELCOME!”
 
So, it’s pretty obvious that these people have abandoned the teachings of Jesus Christ in favor of New Age heresy that preaches man’s role in affecting the climate of the entire planet.
 
The fact that these people say they “fight for Mother Earth” ought to be a sign as to the kind of heresy these people practice. Earth isn’t our “mother”. We live on it and it is part of God’s Creation. To elevate it to the status of “mother” would be to equate it to God and His importance as Father.
 
But as inappropriate as this might be, I have a bit of a bigger issue with the Church of Limhamn’s December 2018 tweet.
 
How in the world could any self-professed Christian even allude to there being any “successor” to Christ? And take note that they aren’t just elevating the teenage climate puppet to Christ’s level. They said “one of [Jesus’] successors.” This indicates a plurality and I only have to wonder who else these people may have elevated to Christ’s level.
 
This goes even beyond idolatry. This is committing one of the most heinous acts one can commit: heresy. One could even make the case that this is blasphemy, the unforgivable sin, but no one can argue against this being heresy, at least not honestly.
 
These people are putting words into Jesus’ mouth by saying He is appointing someone, let alone the teenage climate puppet, as His successor.
 
These people are making the same mistake as the churches of Galatia did in the early life of the church.
 
If you’ve read the book of Galatians, you know that Paul primarily addresses the fact that the churches had turned away from the gospel of Christ, which he had shared with them, in favor of different “gospels”.
 
Galatians 1:1-10 says the following:
 
“Paul, an apostle – not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead – and all the brothers who are with me. To the churches of Galatia: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel – not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”
 
The churches of Galatia, after Paul had preached to them and shared with them the gospel of Jesus Christ, quickly turned to other “gospels” that were contrary to the gospel of Christ. In a similar manner, the Church of Sweden is doing the same thing. The gospel of Jesus Christ has been shared with them and they have the Scripture readily-available and yet, they turn away from it and turn to other “gospels”, namely the “gospel” of man-made climate change.
 
Man-made climate change is what Man believes nowadays. But regardless of whether it’s that or it’s believing in Baal or the gods of Babylon or any other, let not one Christian turn away from Christ’s gospel in favor of another because no other saves, regardless of its promises.
 
Man-made climate change stands in contradiction to both science and Christianity. For you see, to believe that Man has such a great power as to influence the climate is to believe that he can wrestle away control of it from God.
 
Apart from the fact that there is no scientific evidence to support the idea (no, man-made climate models don’t count, specifically when shared by the highly-corrupt IPCC), it is very disingenuous, maybe even blasphemous, to suggest Man could have any power that even closely matches or even outdoes God’s.
 
It stands in direct conflict with the basic Judeo-Christian principle that God is Lord of all. For if Man could wrestle away power from God in any aspect, God would not be sovereign and would not be God.
 
As far as people like the teenage climate puppet go, we have known for a very long time to watch out for false prophets. She is one of the many, many people prophesying that the world will end in a decade or so and that there is currently no future for children as a result, so to call her a false prophet, particularly when supposed Christians are elevating her to the level of “successor to Christ”, whatever that’s supposed to mean, is not exactly inaccurate in my mind.
 
Why would anyone be willing to listen and take seriously such false prophets? Because we seem like ignorant bullies if we don’t? Paul himself raised the question: “for am I seeking the approval of man, or of God?” To bend the knee to this Satanic line of thinking, to accept what these people are saying simply because of the kid’s age is to try and appease Man, not God.
 
And if we were to do so, we would not be servants of Christ.
 
I hope that there are people within the Church of Sweden that are seeing all of this and are spiritually disturbed by it. And I certainly hope the Church of Sweden turns back to the gospel of Christ and not continue down this heretical path, lest they find themselves in the same place as the vast majority of mankind will.
 
I pray that these people will return to Christ and not commit this heresy any longer, submit to another “gospel” or further attempt to please Man as opposed to God.
 
And while the Church of Limhamn did ultimately apologize days later for the tweet, that apology also came with a defense of it, saying: “Our sense has been to talk about Jesus Christ in our own way.” A poor defense on its own, considering the tweet focused more on Greta than it did about Jesus, but any defense of the tweet is an indication that they are still not under the understanding of what they did wrong, so I pray that wisdom and revelation comes their way.
 
1 John 4:1
“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.”

I’ve already said in article after article that the climate change movement is utterly unscientific and relies on unfounded beliefs, as well as fearmongering and indoctrination of younger generations. But here, I would like to visit some of the predictions that were made by “experts” on climate change that did not come true. This is rather similar in nature to another article I made about how long the media had been talking about climate change, but this is a tad different and explores the particular predictions that have been made over the past 50 years.
 
Let’s begin with a not-so subtle article from a November 1967 issue of the Salt Lake Tribune titled: “Dire Famine Forecast by ’75.”
 
The article quotes Stanford University biologist Paul Ehrlich, who said the “time of famines” was upon us and it’d be at its absolute worst by 1975. He argued that “the population of the United States is already too big, that birth control may have to be accomplished by making it involuntary and by putting sterilizing agents into staple foods and drinking water, and that the Roman Catholic Church should be pressured into going along with routine measures of population control,” according to the Salt Lake Tribune.
 
It’s funny, because even with this early rendition of climate alarmism, we see the overall point of the movement: control the masses. There’s no doubt in my mind that if anyone had taken this guy seriously and implemented his proposals, the world would face a far bigger catastrophe than the one these people believe it’s in.
 
Abortion must be made mandatory… for the climate. Population control, government control over everything, must be implemented… for the climate. Does anyone else see the similarities to a mugging here? Being threatened with death if we don’t hand over everything to the people with guns? If we don’t hand control of our lives to the government, everyone will die. That is the message being sent out and it’s nothing but diplomatic thuggery.
 
But regardless, it’s quite clear that Ehrlich was 100% wrong about his prediction (largely because he bases it on the heavily-flawed Malthusian theorem). Let’s move on to another prediction. From The New York Times: “Foe Of Pollution Sees Lack Of Time,” from August of 1969. Interestingly enough, they also quote Ehrlich. “We must realize that unless we are extremely lucky, everybody will disappear in a cloud of blue steam in 20 years,” said Ehrlich. The cause? Once again, too big a population and “contamination of the planet by man,” according to the NYT.
 
Another example: “Scientist predicts a new ice age by 21st century,” from a 1970 issue of The Boston Globe. “Air pollution may obliterate the sun and cause a new ice age in the first third of the next century.”
 
Notice how it used to be about Global COOLING back then?
 
Broke: Air pollution will cause global cooling.
 
Woke: Air pollution will cause global warming.
 
No wonder they switched to “climate change” because they just couldn’t make up their darned minds about how we were all going to die.
 
Next, from an October 1970 issue of the Redlands Daily Facts (playing fast and loose with the word “facts”, I see): “America will be subject to water rationing by 1974 and food rationing by 1980.”
 
And once again, they quote Dr. Ehrlich. Though I suppose I can’t blame them. Not enough time had passed yet for his predictions to not have come true, so he maintains credibility (not that that stops any of these people. Al Gore has been wrong for decades and people still believe his garbage).
 
But in December of 1972, we find something interesting: predicting things that will happen far enough away for anyone to remember the predictions and discovering they were wrong. From a Brown University geologist in a letter addressed to President Richard Nixon: “The present rate of the cooling seems fast enough to bring glacial temperatures in about a century, if continuing at the present pace.”
 
Another ice age prediction, but this time 100 years out into the future when next to no one will remember this prediction and when next to no one alive at that time will be alive by then.
 
But that was in the 1970s, and there are a lot of other articles that discussed another ice age occurring sometime in the future. Switching decades, however, in the 1980s, it was all about “acid rain” and droughts. “Acid Rain Kills Life In Lakes,” read an April 1980 edition of the Noblesville Ledger. It’s also when the switch to global warming began. From The Miami News: “More droughts likely, expert tells senators.” Subhead: “’88 on way to be hottest ever as world temperatures up sharply.”
 
So they began saying that a particular year was “the hottest ever” in 1988. Interesting but obviously very stupid. The technology used to measure this type of stuff was very new by that point, so any particular temperature in it has to be considered within the timespan of recorded history. No one can credibly claim a particular year is “the hottest ever” without knowing how hot or cold it used to be before we had the means by which to measure it.
 
And yet, people are still ignorant enough to believe it when Obama says a particular year was “the hottest year to date” or when another Leftist who stands to gain a lot by spreading this type of misinformation says the same.
 
In any case, we move on to another example, this time with global warming threatening a particular spot: the Maldives. “A gradual rise in average sea level is threatening to completely cover this Indian Ocean nation of 1196 small islands within the next 30 years, according to authorities… But the end of the Maldives and its 200,000 people could come sooner if drinking water supplies dry up by 1992, as predicted,” read a September 1988 issue of The Canberra Times.
 
Well, let’s see how the Maldives are doing, shall we? Hmm, a quick Google search tells me that the island nation is very much still there, with a population of nearly 450,000 in 2017. I can fly there and stay at a resort, though it’s not cheap. All in all, it looks like that prediction was wrong (can’t say I’m surprised).
 
But the prediction must’ve fooled and panicked enough people, because other areas were then predicted to be flooded unless “action” was taken to “reverse” it. Such as the inundation of NYC’s West Side Highway by the year 2019.
 
And who could forget the March 2000 The Independent article that boldly declared: “Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past,” and that “Children just aren’t going to know what snow is”? Fast-forward 17 years and you find a USA Today article titled: “Snow is on the ground in 49 of 50 states.”
 
These are only ten of FORTY-ONE predictions that John Nolte from Breitbart gathered. They all include predictions of either a “new ice age” or places being flooded or famines and droughts happening or absolutely no ice anywhere in the world.
 
None of which came to pass, all of which entirely based on nothing substantial, and yet, the list continues to grow with ridiculous predictions like AOC’s “12 years” or Prince Charles’ “18 months”.
 
But regardless of the predictions or the accuracy of the predictions, they all have one thing in common: scare the populace into giving up rights and freedoms to the government out of fear of Armageddon. It’s a disgusting ploy to attain as much power as possible for the already-powerful elites.
 
I look at all these predictions and see nothing but liars and con-artists, all of whom stand something to gain.
 
And at the same time, I look at the current Democrat candidates, who buy into all of this nonsense, and then proceed to have a massive steak cookoff in Iowa, where they cook over 10,000 steaks and other meats; the same kind of food they told us TO STOP CONSUMING FOR THE SAKE OF THE PLANET!
 
It’s for this reason that every time I look at Democrat candidates today, I see nothing but crappy people peddling bull crap proposals that they know very well will not benefit anyone but themselves.
 
41 times, so-called “experts” warned people about a coming climate catastrophe (that Nolte gathered. I’m certain there are FAR MORE than just that). Over 40 times, they said something was going to happen and nothing of the sort happened. They hold no credibility and we know exactly why they are saying what they are saying.
 
Unfortunately, you have a lot of people who buy into this nonsense. Last weekend’s “Climate Strike” was evidence of that, as well as the “Shut Down DC” event that occurred the following Monday.
 
People have been brainwashed into thinking we are killing our own planet and that the ONLY solution is to turn our rights and freedoms over to socialists who will do absolutely nothing to “solve climate change” because NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
 
Again, in history, there have been two other Warming Periods that we know of apart from the Modern one. The reasons these lunatics give for temperatures rising today can’t be used to explain previous periods of warming and cooling (and therefore, can’t be used to explain the current one). It’s all a cycle, but not many people know this.
 
The climate change movement is nothing more than a cult, based on nothing but pure, raw emotion and fabricated data that gives them ammo. This is the religion of seculars. The good news, however, is that they can come to receive Christ as well. Not all of them will, of course, but I certainly believe there is a chance that there are people who believe this nonsense now who are part of the elect and can be taught the Truth of the Gospel.
 
I can only hope that enough people will be taught the Truth before this country turns over its freedoms to the Devil.

In this world, seculars and Christians find two distinct ways of being happy. Christians find joy in Christ, even when they find themselves going through a period of tribulation. Christians understand there is a purpose and meaning to life – to serve God and enjoy Him – and find comfort through difficulty in prayer, a direct connection to the Lord.
 
Seculars, on the other hand, believe in making your own happiness and finding your own meaning in life apart from God. That is naturally a bad idea, as we cannot divorce ourselves from God, much as we might try. The fact we have a conscience, have aspirations, dreams, and other logical abilities that are not shared by animals points to our relationship to God, as we were created in His own image.
 
But those who try and stay as far away from God as possible tend to find themselves unhappy, unfulfilled and without any meaning and purpose in their life. It is for this reason that seculars encourage people to “find their own meaning and purpose in life.” Separate from God, they don’t have much in the way for hope. It’s also why they attach themselves to causes like the climate change movement. It’s utterly unscientific, but it gives people meaning and a purpose, as misguided as it may be. As a result, they get attached to it and will defend it, even against reality.
 
But the side effect of encouraging people to “find their own meaning” in life is that people find themselves without meaning and are told to find it basically on their own. They sink themselves in drugs, alcohol, sex and other carnal desires, not knowing they are sinning and not knowing that that is not the purpose for their existence.
 
It’s no surprise, then, that Galaxy Chocolate, in running a study of generational happiness, found the millennial generation the least happy generation in Great Britain. Granted, for the most part, the reasons they give are working too much (Brits work the second most amount of hours in Europe, only behind Greece) and that they are stressing over money and employment, but there is another important aspect to this entire thing: secular vs. Christian beliefs.
 
A poll from early August found that nearly 90% of millennial Brits believed their lives have no meaning or purpose. The poll also found that 84% believed they were failing to “live their best life.” And across every age group, 51% believed the purpose of life is to be as happy as one can be, 37% believe the purpose is to make others happy and 31% said that it was simply to do good.
 
These numbers are depressing, but make sense when you consider that the amount of Brits who consider themselves Christians is at its lowest recorded level: 38%, and only 1% of millennials say they belong to the Church of England.
 
Christ is fading away from Brits’ lives, so is it any wonder the younger generations are feeling miserable? As I talked about in an article about why young people are drawn to socialism, it is the socialization of the economic system in America (and subsequently blaming it on capitalism) that has allowed younger generations to fall through the cracks and wish for radical change to the status quo. But for as much as the American economic system has been socialized, it is dwarfed by the socialization that has been occurring in Europe.
 
The very existence of a European Union should be a warning sign of globalism having been on the rise in the past few decades. The governments of Europe are trying to replace God (whether or not they admit it), but fail spectacularly in every single aspect, but especially for the purpose of joy. Because the government cannot provide joy to anyone. Have you seen any European politicians? Most of them are bitter, angry and resentful. They can’t even bring joy to themselves, so of course they would not be able to bring joy to others.
 
And it shows plentifully in this survey. The younger generations are being taught that their life has no meaning because of “evolution” and that they have to find their own meaning in life. In doing so, they get attached to the first thing they can find: climate activism.
 
The fact that some people have confessed their sins to plants is an indication of the kind of religious cult the climate change movement is. They find a meaning in such activism… but they don’t find joy.
 
Climate activism brings the opposite of joy and happiness. Back in January, the climate change movement’s youngest puppet, Greta Thunberg, gave a speech in front of the World Economic Forum where she said “I want you to panic” and that “I want you to feel the fear I feel every day.” Obviously, the Left is abusing her if she feels this much fear over something that is not exactly a problem. But she gives away the entire point of climate activism: it’s not about hope or happiness or joy for a better future. It’s about fear and panic and dread.
 
The girl is 16 years old and I believe she legitimately fears what she has been taught. Why? Because of a distinct lack of Christ in her life, let alone her heart.
 
Aside from the logical and scientific reasons to not panic about climate change, the reason I don’t believe the world is in the kind of danger the Left says it is (apart from the fact these people have no credibility in my eyes and it’s largely a political ploy to attain more power) is because I trust God and His plan for the world.
 
I know that He is sovereign over the entire universe. I know that everything happens for a reason. I know that He has already sent His own Son to die on the cross for the elect, that whoever might follow His Son might not perish but have everlasting life. If God’s plan for the judgment of the world were about burning the planet to a crisp slowly over time, then it becomes all-the-more important to try and find the elect and help them to find salvation in Christ.
 
Of course, I have biblical reasons for not believing that to be how the world will be judged and ended, but the point remains: God is sovereign and holy, holy, holy. No evil is found in Him.
 
I know God’s character enough to understand His love for us and to trust Him no matter what, even if that is tested sometimes in life. But people like Greta, or like the other 62% of Brits, they don’t know God in this way. They either actively avoid Him or have been taught to ignore Christianity as “fanatical” or “mythological” or “unscientific” or “bigoted”.
 
As a result of being so separated from God, they feel like their lives are meaningless and worthless. Even worse, they find meaning in things that are bad for them and only further poison the soul. Climate activism is one of the most toxic ideologies out there currently, but it gives people a heavily-misguided purpose.
 
The first of the Shorter Catechisms in the Westminster Confession of Faith is to answer what the chief end of Man is. The answer is “Man’s chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever.”
 
This is the purpose God has put into our lives. This is the meaning of life. We are to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. We might go about it in different ways in as far as how to accomplish it goes (for example, some people were meant to preach in church, others to write articles, others to lead countries, others to do business. All different professions but that all should seek to glorify God and enjoy Him forever), but this remains the chief purpose of Man.
 
This is the type of faith that is either completely absent in most young Britons (and generally many young people) or is outright replaced by the cult of climate change.
 
So I ask again: is it really so surprising to find these types of numbers in generations of people who are mostly ignorant to God? Is it really so surprising to find so many young people without meaning and a purpose in their lives, feeling inadequate and without hope?
 
I’ve already said time and time again about the need for America to return to God if we wish to continue to be blessed by Him. This can also apply to literally any nation on Earth. If God is to save the Queen, God needs to be a considerable part of British life.
 
It’s no surprise that the countries that are faithful to God tend to be so successful. America and Great Britain (and others) succeeded against the Godless Nazis (yes, there is no denying the contribution of the equally-godless Soviets, but they happened to have chosen the right side at the time. They were really no different, ideologically, from the Nazis apart from particular details. They were not exactly friendly to Jews). America, Great Britain and the Vatican, led by an actually good Pope in John Paul II, succeeded against the Godless Soviets in bringing down the USSR.
 
Abandoning God tends to be a self-imposed death sentence against a nation and this is not realized until after the fact. Trusting and having faith in the Lord, though it does not mean absence of trouble, means taking God’s side and being by His side on particular matters.
 
Nations may rise and fall, but God lives forever.
 
1 Corinthians 2:5
“That your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.”

Within the Christian religion, there are a number of different denominational beliefs that sometimes present challenges to people. For example, Catholics tend to pray to statues of the Virgin Mary or other Saints, asking them to essentially pass on a message to God that He may bless the praying people or help them to some capacity. And while there may be arguments in favor of doing this, I cannot help but think of this as a form of idolatry, because one is praying to statues, not God.
 
But while I am one to believe that while there are a lot of doctrinal problems within the Catholic Church, I believe there are those who are legitimately Christians and are actually saved among Catholics (though I highly doubt people like the Pope or other “progressive” leaders in the Church are saved).
 
I cannot say the same for anyone within the Union Theological Seminary, a non-denominational Seminary in New York.
 
You see, this past Tuesday, members of the UTS placed plants in the middle of a chapel and confessed their sins to them. “Today in chapel, we confessed to plants,” tweeted UTS, sharing also a picture of the ritual. “Together, we held our grief, joy, regret, hope, guilt and sorrow in prayer; offering them to the beings who sustain us but whose gift we too often fail to honor. What do you confess to the plants in your life?”
 
Upon receiving tons of mockery and rebuking from actual Christians, UTS then tweeted: “When Robin Wall Kimmerer spoke at Union last year, she concluded her lecture by tasking us – and all faith communities – to develop new liturgies by which to mourn, grieve, heal and change in response to our climate emergency. We couldn’t be prouder to participate in this work. So, if you’re poking fun, we’d ask only that you also spend a couple moments asking: Do I treat plants and animals as divinely created beings? What harm do I cause without thinking? How can I enter into new relationship with the natural world?”
 
There is quite a bit to talk about here, but let’s begin with the obvious: THESE PEOPLE ARE COMMITTING IDOLATRY, A VIOLATION OF THE FIRST COMMANDMENT!
 
Taking aside the fact that these people are obviously environmentalist whackos, they not only violate God’s First Commandment, but also insult Him in doing this.
 
When we sin, we sin against God. Sin is to do evil in the sight of God. We do not sin against PLANTS. We may sin against other people by doing wrong by them, but we do not sin against plants because they are NOT EQUAL to us in the sight of God. That isn’t to say we should not care for the environment, because God tasked Man with taking care of the land in Genesis, but we should not elevate plants and animals to our level or sink Man to the level of plants and animals.
 
Genesis 1:26 reads as follows: “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.’” When God created Man in His own image, He also gave him dominion over all the earth and the things of the earth. In the hierarchy of natural creation, you find plants and animals below Man.
 
To imply that we can in any way sin against plants would be to consider plants to be equal or greater than Man. They are not, as we have dominion over them, given to us by All Mighty God. You don’t even have to be a Christian to read that far into the Bible, and these people somehow got it into their heads that Man is not above animals and plants?
 
They use language like “divinely created beings” to refer to animals and plants yet have no idea what that actually means. God created everything. All things have been divinely created. Are we not to enjoy and rule over that which God has given us dominion?
 
These people aren’t doing God any favors or pleasing God in the least. Aside from the fact that they said the plants sustain us (God sustains us, not the plants), they don’t even trust Him regarding the CLIMATE for crying out loud! Remember, they used the Leftist term of “climate emergency.” Apart from the fact that that’s b.s. largely because we are NOT in a “climate emergency” and are in the middle of what is considered the Modern Warm Period, something that is not exactly rare for the planet, these people believe that God is not powerful enough or sovereign to be able to control the climate of ONE planet.
 
This is the same thing I charge the socialist Pope of: not actually having faith in the Lord.
 
These people aren’t Christians. How could they be, when they don’t trust Him for their salvation and resort to CONFESSING TO PLANTS in order to feel satisfied with themselves?
 
Not to mention the focus on having a relationship with the natural world. Having a relationship with other people is not inherently a bad thing whatsoever. However, the focus should be on the supernatural, not on the natural. The focus should be having a relationship with the God who created the natural world, not the natural world itself.
 
To elevate the natural world in this manner is to do the same as worshiping a statue of a god or a golden calf. It’s utter idolatry, a detestable and abominable thing in the sight of God.
 
Plants cannot save you. Animals cannot save you. The natural world cannot save you. Man cannot save you. Only Christ can save you. These “Christians” have clearly forgotten that, if they ever knew it to begin with.
 
Exodus 20:1-6
“And God spoke all these words, saying, ‘I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.’”
