Maybe the ‘arrogance’ in knowing what the planet’s temperature should be (*) is based on data recorded over 100 years, scientific models which have been proved correct, direct observations of human suffering related to weather patterns, soaring food prices in poorer nations etc. It’s not like people come up with these things off the top of their heads.

And you’ll find that when the flood hits, it’s usually bipartisan. It sweeps right- and left-wingers just the same.

(*) The temperature that makes current human life and civilization possible, as well as the current landscapes and animals and plants they support. If the temperature rises, there’ll still be a planet Earth for sure—it’ll just look very, very different, to say the least. And us humans will have a much harder time in general just surviving.

Hi Tim, interesting comment. I am not pushing a leftist agenda or “big government”. Just sharing what I see God’s word teaching us about loving the people he created and tending to the earth that sustains us all. I am not suggesting that the following comment is true of you, but I often find it interesting how folks narrow in on a few thoughts that sound leftist to them and dismiss any Biblical wisdom in the rest of a post like this. All they see is an agenda. The strong reaction and suspicion of a leftist agenda often ruffles the most feathers on those who prefer their rightist agenda is pushed. God does not advocate for either agenda so why such a strong reaction? I hope that a true middle ground could someday be found in this conversation and neither agenda is promoted. Fighting over left/right agendas when it comes to Creation Care is becoming archaic to most, caring is a given to most people these days other than the extremes on each side.

I am blown away by the arrognace displayed by those who think they know what “temperature” the earth is supposed to be, and are certain that they know what should be done to maintain it. No, I am not a burn-it-now-because-God-is-going-to-burn-it-later guy, and it does make sense to me that man’s activity on this planet probably affects the climate in some way – and probalby not for the best. There are however, many factors at play, so many in fact that I immediately look with suspicion on anyone who claims that greenhouse gasses are the culprit, and/or attempts to sensationalize the issue with their, a-tsuanmi-will-inundate-New-York-City-tomorrow rheteroic. I suspect that they have either bought into the leftest (government needs more control) agenda, or they have a vested interest in promoting that agenda.

Preach it, Green Mama! So true. When Christians think they can abuse anything, including the planet, their theology is faulty, to say the least.
